Today's episode is about the 2023 decision 303 Creative v. Elenis, a case out of Colorado where a website designer claimed that she wanted to branch out into wedding announcements but that the wanted to post a notice that she wouldn't work with same-sex couples since marriage is (according to her religion) "between one man and one woman". We talk about how the case itself is narrow, but the implications are vast. We also talk about some past cases, how the conservative majority limited itself to come to a particular conclusion, and how the dissent looked beyond just speech into conduct as well. Next week, we will talk about the 2023 case Groff v. DeJoy.
