Judge bans business owners from stating Christian beliefs

A federal judge has affirmed a Colorado law that effectively bans business owners from freely expressing in public their religious beliefs about marriage and homosexuality.

Colorado was the loser in a similar dispute, the Masterpiece Cakeshop case in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the state show "hostility" to the Christian beliefs of Jack Phillips in its handling of his refusal to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. Since then, openly homosexual Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has pursued a gay-rights agenda that includes allowing people to indicate their sex on driver's licenses according to their "gender identity" and banning counselors from helping young people who want to rid themselves of same-sex attractions.

Now, Judge Marcia Krieger has upheld a Colorado law that barred web designer Lorie Smith and her studio 303 Creative "from publicly expressing the religious reasons she declines" to promote same-sex marriage.

Smith, defended by the Alliance Defending Freedom, filed the lawsuit against members of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and Aubrey Elenis, director of the Colorado Civil Rights Division.

The American people have been 'educated' to understand that Judges have the final say over everything!
(It is my belief that the Judges themselves believe it!)

Here is a pretty good example of how the government is meant to operate!

Does not Judge Marcia Krieger’s decision violate the right to free speech? I think it does. I think this should go to the Supreme Court.

This is 100% a violation of the First Amendment.

The fake judge needs removal ASAP.

Elections have consequences and this judge comes to us as the result of an election. We get what we vote for.

It is a duty to disobey rulings that flout the Constitution and the Natural Law.

Homos are working to enforce Newspeak, from 1984.
