What SCOTUS Wrote Us
Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (2018) Majority Opinion (Free Exercise, Free Speech, Same-Sex Wedding Cake)

Audio of the 2018 Opinion of the Supreme Court in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. In July 2012, Charlie Craig and David Mullins were engaged to be married  and busy making wedding plans. For their cake, they decided to ask Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, CO to create a custom-designed cake for their wedding reception. But the owner, Jack Phillips, wasn't on-board. Phillips refused because his religious beliefs forbade same-sex marriage. The question before the Court in this case was whether Colorado's public accommodations law compelling a cake maker to create a cake that violates his sincerely held religious beliefs regarding same-sex marriage violated the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment. The Court held the Colorado Civil Rights Commission's conduct in evaluating a cake shop owner's reasons for refusing to create a cake for a same-sex couple's wedding, violated the Free Exercise Clause. I'm reading today's case in anticipation a very similar case this term - 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, with oral arguments scheduled for December 5th. This case involves a website developer who wants to publicly communicate her refusal to provide services in connection with same-sex marriages, claiming that a public accommodations law compelling her to do so violates her first amendment right to free speech.   Access this Supreme Court opinion and other essential case information on Oyez.   Music by Epidemic Sound

Brandi starts us off with the old timey-est kidnapping of them all! It was the winter of 1900 in Omaha, Nebraska, and 16-year-old Edward Cudahy was walking home from a neighbor’s house. Two men pulled up beside him and lured him into their carriage. They’d chosen their target wisely. Edward’s father owned Cudahy Packing Company. He was a millionaire. He had more than enough money to pay their ransom. But would he? Then Kristin tells us about a cake maker who didn’t want to make a cake. It was 2012, and Charlie Craig and David Mullins were in love. In fact, they were so in love that they decided to get married. That was a little tricky, though. At the time, Colorado prohibited same-sex marriage. But Charlie and David weren’t going to let legalized homophobia stop them. They planned to get married in Massachusetts and have a reception back in their home state. So they went to Masterpiece Cakeshop to order a wedding cake. There was just one problem. The owner of the bakery, Jack Phillips, refused to make cakes for same-sex couples. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “In baker’s case, neither side has much reason to rejoice,” by Jennifer Rubin for the Washington Post “Colorado judge orders Christian baker to bake gay wedding cake. Will he say no?” by Patrik Jonsson for the Christian Science Monitor “Colorado cake maker asks Supreme Court to provide a religious liberty right to refuse gay couple,” by David Savage for the Los Angeles Times “Supreme Court to take case on baker who refused to sell wedding cake to gay couple,” by Robert Barnes for the Washington Post “Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission,” Wikipedia In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Bold Cudahy Kidnapping” by David Krajicek, Crime Library “Kidnapping Edward Cudahy Jr.” NorthOmahaHistory.com “New Life For The Strangest Of Legends” by Micah Mertes, Omaha World-Herald

It’s June, so all of us at Heritage Radio Network are celebrating Pride month! Pride honors the 1969 Stonewall riots that launched the Gay Liberation Movement here in New York City. Before you binge watch season two of Queer Eye, catch up with this week's episode of Meat + Three. First, we turn to last week’s Supreme Court decision about the baker from Colorado who refused to design a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, back in 2012. To recap: Charlie Craig and David Mullins met, fell in love and decided to get married. They went to the Masterpiece Cakeshop, to order a custom cake for their wedding, but the owner, Jack Phillips, denied their request. He cited his Christian faith and religious objection to same sex marriage. The ACLU filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and in 2013, that organization ruled against Phillips. His lawyers failed to get the ruling overturned in Colorado, but two years ago, the US Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. On June 4th, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Phillips and Masterpiece Cakeshop, saying that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission did not act as a neutral ruling body in the matter. We were surprised by the decision, so we asked our correspondent Esther Trakinski to share some insight on Justice Kennedy’s majority decision. (Trakinski practiced law for 25 years before becoming a food systems specialist and adjunct professor at NYU.) She told us that the Supreme Court decision is much narrower than civil rights advocates feared, and actually called it “a resounding acknowledgement that gay people are protected persons under the law.” The decision was procedural and highly specific to this case. To be sure, some may try to invoke this decision to deny services to gay people for their weddings, but last week’s ruling ensures their actions would still be considered unlawful in a courtroom. Still, emotions are running high after the verdict–we’ve seen a deluge of negative Yelp reviews about Masterpiece Cakeshop, and actor Andrew Garfield pled at the Tony Awards “let’s just bake a cake for everyone who wants a cake to be baked.” That’s why we’re delighted to introduce you to Jim Samaras, who co-owns Lora’s Donuts and Bakery shop with his wife in Englewood, Colorado. Not only did they reach out and offer to bake Charlie and David a custom wedding cake (a rainbow cake, to be more specific), they gave it to the couple for free. Our next story turns to Taylor Lanzet, another woman whose work brings us joy. As the Director of Supply and Sustainability, she sources vegetables for Dig Inn, a fast casual restaurant chain that focuses on serving local produce. Host Dana Cowin, who currently has a consulting gig with the restaurant group, welcomed Lanzet to her show, Speaking Broadly on an episode she called “Queer Eye for the Food Supply.” Kat Johnson addresses the controversy surrounding Antoni Porowski, Queer Eye’s Food and Wine Expert. Many viewers thought his recipes from season one were unsophisticated, but we ask: what’s wrong with simple food? Mitchell Davis, the Executive Vice President of the James Beard Foundation, even weighs in on simple food and provides us with one of his favorite summer recipes! We end with a story by Hannah Fordin of a food writer who’s exploring the fascinating correlation between the vegan and LGBTQ communities. Leah Kirts is a freelance food writer and nutrition educator for a non profit in Harlem. She developed research on the intersection between the LGBTQ community and the vegan community. She shares her journey of coming out as vegetarian – and eventually vegan – before fully coming to terms with her queer identity. Love Meat + Three?

Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado CRC, one of the most highly publicized of the term, was decided 7-2 in favor of the petitioner.The facts of the case are as follows: two men, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, were planning their wedding and sought a wedding cake from Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop. Phillips told the men that he could not make them a cake, citing his religious beliefs. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission determined that Phillips was discriminating against the couple on the basis of sexual orientation. Phillips was told to “cease and desist” such discrimination and was ordered to provide “remedial measures.” As a result, Phillips stopped offering custom cakes entirely.The case deals with the balance of religious liberties and equality through anti-discriminatory laws. It also involves the Free Speech Clause, as Phillips considers his custom cakes art and himself an artist. Phillips and many others see the “cease and desist” as a form of compelled speech, since he would be legally obligated to create art with a message he does not support.Dale Carpenter, Judge William Hawley Atwell Chair of Constitutional Law at the SMU Dedman School of Law and Kim Colby, Director at the Center for Law & Religious Freedom, Christian Legal Society, will join us to discuss this important decision.Featuring:Prof. Dale A.

Last July, a Colorado cake artist who declined to use his artistic talents to create a wedding cake celebrating a same-sex ceremony asked the US Supreme Court to take his case and rule that the government cannot force him to communicate a message with which he fundamentally disagrees. This week, almost a year later, the Court has agreed to hear his case. Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, and Kristen Waggoner, Senior Vice President of US Legal Advocacy, join Freedom Matters to discuss what this means to Jack and other creative professionals around the country who simply want to live and work consistent with their deeply held beliefs. In July 2012, Charlie Craig and David Mullins asked Jack to make a wedding cake to celebrate their same-sex ceremony. In an exchange lasting about 30 seconds, Jack politely declined, explaining that he would gladly make them any other type of baked item they wanted, but he could not make a cake promoting a same-sex ceremony because of his faith. Craig and Mullins, now represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, immediately left the shop and later filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which eventually ruled against Phillips. The same-sex couple was easily able to obtain their desired rainbow-themed cake for free from another nearby cake artist. In contrast to the ruling against Phillips, the commission found in 2015 that three other Denver cake artists were not guilty of creed discrimination when they declined a Christian customer’s request for a cake that reflected his religious opposition to same-sex marriage.
