Back in 2017, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, a case involving a cake shop owner who refused to create a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. In a 7-2 decision, the court found that the state had violated the cake maker's religious objections. Now the court is considering another case out of Colorado that could expand the right to discriminate under the guise of free speech. In the fourth episode of Dissent, Jordan Smith and law professor Hila Keren discuss 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, a challenge to the state's Anti-Discrimination Act brought by Lorie Smith, a website designer seeking to refuse wedding design services to same-sex couples. Unlike Masterpiece Cakeshop, the 303 Creative case has no injured parties; it is a preemptive attempt to allow businesses to practice unfettered discrimination. join.theintercept.com/donate/now Hosted on Acast.

Rebecca, Liz and Alison discuss the December 2022 oral arguments in the latest services for same sex wedding case, 303 Creative v. Elenis. This case involves a Christian website designer who would like to expand her business to create wedding websites, but would refuse to do that for same sex couples. The hosts discuss the craziness that was the oral argument and what this case means for religious liberty and gay rights. Background SCOTUS Blog Page Oral Arguments Coalition amicus brief “Colorado web designer's First Amendment challenge will test the scope of state anti-discrimination laws” “Conservative justices seem poised to side with web designer who opposes same-sex marriage” “The big stakes in the Supreme Court's new LGBTQ rights case”   Check us out on Facebook and Twitter.

The U-S Supreme Court will rule this spring on a religious freedom case, "303 Creative v. Elenis."  Lorie Smith, a Christian website designer who opposes same-sex marriage as contrary to her faith, sued over a Colorado state law which bars discrimination, which could require her to create wedding websites for same-sex couples. Lorie Smith was represented at oral arguments in Washington D.C. in December 2022 by the Alliance Defending Freedom. Attorney Matt Sharp, senior counsel at ADF, spoke with Family Life about the issues underlying the case, and how the justices' questions at oral arguments might give insight into the upcoming ruling.

On This Episode:ADVENT WEEK 3: JoyWhen hope is fulfilled, there is joy. We'll take a brief look at the shepherds, Simeon, and Ana to examine how the first Advent brought joy. We'll also take that cue to think about the first Advent as a signpost, pointing us to the second and final Advent of Christ. If we'll live in that light, we'll walk in joy.WHAT DOES “REIGNING WITH CHRIST” MEAN?I heard a challenging sermon this week about what it would mean or us to actually reign with Christ right now – reigning in our households and over the parts of Christ's Kingdom he's entrusted to us. I'll play you some of that audio that has a particular challenge for Christian parents.THE 303 CREATIVE VS. ELENIS CASESeeing the progressive, secular Left react to that case crystalized three things for me. First, there's a segment of the secular hard left that despises Christians. Second, the modern Western world has concocted a novel system where one's sexual desires are a CORE identity. That's new in human history, and most of the planet now has no paradigm for sex being someone's core identity. Finally, the just ruling is clear. The Supreme Court should end Colorado's prejudiced law.

The Supreme Court recently heard 2.5 hours of oral arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis-- the case about a Colorado website designer who doesn't want to create wedding websites for gay couples. The arguments were absolutely bonkers, with justices invoking kids in KKK uniforms, Black mall Santas, dating sites for people seeking affairs, and re-education camps. Leah, Kate, and Melissa recap the arguments and what they may portend for the future of LGBTQ rights. 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/09/2022): 3:05pm- Twitter Files Part 2: On Thursday night, former Wall Street Journal and New York Times journalist Bari Weiss revealed, prior to Elon Musk taking ownership, Twitter maintained a blacklist which limited the visibility of conservative commentators like, Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok, and Dan Bongino. Perhaps most disturbingly, Stanford University Professor of Medicine Jay Bhattacharya was also “shadow banned” for suggesting that prolonged COVID-19 lockdowns could irreparably harm children—particularly educationally. According to Weiss' reporting, the group banning the most high-profile Twitter accounts included former CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal. 3:30pm- After establishing that former Twitter executives authorized shadow banning conservative accounts, the next question that must be answered: were these bans being compelled by governmental officials and/or political organizations? 3:45pm- While speaking with John Roberts on Fox News, former Vice President Mike Pence was asked if he believed shadow bans on social media—Twitter specifically—cost Trump-Pence the 2020 presidential election.  3:50pm- On September 5th, 2018, while speaking before Congress, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey stated, “[w]e don't consider political viewpoints, perspectives, or party affiliation in any of our policies or enforcement decisions, period. Impartiality is our guiding principle.” This statement now appears to be false. Will Dorsey be held accountable?  4:05pm- Matt Sharp—Senior Legal Counsel Representing Lorie Smith of 303 Creative | Alliance Defending Freedom—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis. The question being asked before the court is whether Lorie Smith, a wedding website designer, is legally permitted to decline creating custom webpages for same-sex weddings—is her religious objection protected by the First Amendment? During oral argument, Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that Colorado law forced Jack Phillips—the cake baker in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission—was forced, by the state, to go through a reeducation program after refusing to make custom cakes for same-sex weddings citing a religious objection. 4:20pm- Rich figures out how to play sound effects from his studio—it's only been one segment, but Matt is already disgusted. Plus, the Zeoli show relives one of our all-time favorite clips: former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio eating Shake Shack on television.  4:35pm- According to a report from The Daily Signal, Assistant Secretary of Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Dr. Rachel Levine encouraged doctors to “proactively” campaign on behalf of transgender care for minors, during a September Zoom conference at University of Pittsburgh's Department of Pediatrics.  4:45pm- Qatar's beautiful camel contest! Are these camels ACTUALLY beautiful?!?! Matt and Rich disagree.  4:50pm- In an opinion editorial featured in The Arizona Republic, Senator Krysten Sinema announced that she changed her party affiliation from Democrat to Independent. Will this decision have any impact on Senate voting? Probably not. 5:05pm- According to a report from The Daily Wire, “[v]ideo emerged Thursday afternoon of Brittney Griner being swapped on a runway for convicted Russian terrorist Viktor Bout after Democrat President Joe Biden agreed to the trade.” The video shows a clear edit that appears to occur right before Brittney Griner may have shaken hands with Bout. Did the White House delete the handshake because of bad optics?  5:10pm- According to a report from Politico's Lara Seligman, “[s]ome Pentagon officials are concerned that convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was released on Thursday in a prisoner swap for American basketball star Brittney Griner, could return to illegally trafficking weapons, potentially fueling conflicts across the world.” 5:20pm- In 2010, 60 Minutes aired a report on Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. They referred to him as one of the most dangerous people on earth.  5:35pm- According to a report from The Philadelphia Inquirer, Mayor Jim Kenney has been vocal in his complaints about a 6ABC story that criticized his performance in public office—even swearing at Brian Tierney for his role in the piece.  5:45pm- Mystery Movie Clip: Is Jingle All the Way one of the most underrated Christmas films? 6:05pm- Twitter Files Part 3: On Friday night, investigative journalist Matt Taibbi released information regarding the decision to remove former President Donald Trump from Twitter. Taibbi wrote, “Whatever your opinion on the decision to remove Trump that day, the internal communications at Twitter between January 6th-January 8th have clear historical import. Even Twitter's employees understood in the moment it was a landmark moment in the annals of speech.” According to Taibbi, Twitter executives were “prepared to ban future presidents and White Houses–perhaps even Joe Biden.” 6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? 

Did you miss any of The Rich Zeoli Show this week? It's ok. We forgive you. But now is your chance to catch-up on all of the action: John Paul Mac Isaac—Author of “American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth”—joins The Rich Zeoli to discuss his new book which documents his experience being caught-up in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. In 2019, Hunter Biden commissioned John Paul's Wilmington, Delaware electronic repair shop to fix his liquid-damaged laptops. John Paul explains, “[c]oncerned that I was sitting on evidence in a criminal investigation, I set out to hand everything over to the FBI" after Biden never returned to collect his property. He continues, “[w]hen the story broke, Big Tech and social and mainstream media blocked the reporting” and “[m]y actions were labeled Russian disinformation.” Despite doing the right thing every step of the way, John Paul unfairly had his character attacked—ultimately, resulting in the forced closure of his business, The Mac Shop. During the interview, John Paul also reacts to Elon Musk's recent releasing of emails confirming that Twitter suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story at the behest of the Biden campaign team—vindicating John Paul once and for all. His incredible book is available at: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/American-Injustice/John-Paul-Mac-Isaac/9781637586846 Momma Zeoli watches the kids—and warns them not to eat too much sugar, not to jump on the couch, and not to develop carpal tunnel syndrome...

Mat Staver is the founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. He is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He's an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.--The first quarter hour involved Matt's views concerning the latest on the so-called -Respect for Marriage Act.- 39 Republicans and all 219 Democrats in the House of Representatives wasted no time passing this act which is now on the way to President Biden for his signature. --Mat noted that while this has the same-sex portion, it originally opened up the door for polygamy. Due to push-back, an amendment was issued that said it won't do that. However, a loophole hasn't been closed to child-bride marriages because what the law says is that one state has to give recognition to another state's marriage and it's not just on same-sex marriage- this also applies to child-bride marriages that come out of California -where you can marry a 10 year old-. Most states have laws against such marriages but all those would now be overruled. --This week the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that collides the LGBTQ political agenda with not simply religious speech, but all free speech. It will determine whether individuals can be forced to violate their own religious convictions that don't conform to state accepted beliefs. Mat filed an amicus brief to the high court on behalf of Lori Smith in the case known as 303 Creative v. Elenis.--Lori is a creative web designer who makes unique websites for each couple she meets and that want her to use her artistic talents to help them celebrate their marriage.

In this case, it will be impossible for the Court to neglect the issue of free speech. The question is whether the state of Colorado (or any state) can compel speech in order to advance the state's message. 

Amanda and Holly review this week's Supreme Court arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis, a free speech challenge to a Colorado law that prohibits discrimination in the commercial marketplace. They look at how this case came to be, how it relates to 2018's Masterpiece Cakeshop case, and the difficulty in deciding weighty matters of free speech and nondiscrimination for a wedding website design business that has not started that aspect of its business. Amanda and Holly play clips from the courtroom and share why, based on the questions and the tone, they think 303 Creative will win this case. But, the big question is how the company might win and how this case may affect debates about religious freedom and nondiscrimination laws.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin present KITM, now, at least today, 100% New York Times free.  WNBA star Brittney Griner has been freed from Russia in a 1-for-1 prisoner swap. Brittney is safe, on a plane, and on her way home. Biden isn't Trump, therefore Brittney Griner isn't Otto Warmbier. People pore over the numbers while the GQP counts their regrets following Raphael Warnock's Senate win. One reason for Warnock's win might have been the perceived lower quality of his opponent… Also, thanks to our kids, whom we've begged for years to please begin their homework earlier than the deadline day, coming through at the last, last minute. Values-based politics are winning politics for Democrats. Glenn Youngkin inches closer to pulling Virginia from their regional climate program. The Trump Supreme Court is using the Founding Fathers as human shields in Moore v. Harper, but are having a tougher time justifying anti-LGBTQ “messages” in 303 Creative v. Elenis. Meanwhile, the Respect for Marriage Act was actually legislated by legislators.  A restaurant in Richmond, Virginia, decided to protect its staff from gangs of anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ Christian hooligans. A search team found a couple more top-secret documents in a Trump storage bin with his old swords. Donald Trump probably has a classified document stuck to the heel of his shoe at this very moment. Donald should check to see if Vlad has a guest room down at his new place in Argentina. Save some room for Paul Gosar. The Reichsbürger, or “Lost Cause” movement in Germany is lead by would-be Kaiser, Heinrich XIII Prince of Reuss. Who is he? More importantly, which is he?

We'll also take that cue to think about the first Advent as a signpost, pointing us to the second and final Advent of Christ. If we'll live in that light, we'll walk in joy. WHAT DOES “REIGNING WITH CHRIST” MEAN? I heard a challenging sermon this week about what it would mean or us to actually reign with Christ right now – reigning in our households and over the parts of Christ's Kingdom he's entrusted to us. I'll play you some of that audio that has a particular challenge for Christian parents. THE 303 CREATIVE VS. ELENIS CASE Seeing the progressive, secular Left react to that case crystalized three things for me. First, there's a segment of the secular hard left that despises Christians. Second, the modern Western world has concocted a novel system where one's sexual desires are a CORE identity. That's new in human history, and most of the planet now has no paradigm for sex being someone's core identity. Finally, the just ruling is clear. The Supreme Court should end Colorado's prejudiced law. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/corytruax/support

Michael opens with more follow-up on the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis case, involving the Colorado-based graphic designer who refused to make a website for a same-sex couple. Then he offers an explanation on a major case before the Supreme Court today, Moore v. Harper, on the "independent state legislature theory" and how election administration could be upended nationwide. Original air date 7 December 2022.

Should the government be able to tell Americans what they can and cannot say? Or should artists be forced to express messages they don't believe? What happens when public accommodation laws and free speech collide? These questions are at the heart of one of the Supreme Court's biggest cases of the term, 303 Creative v. Elenis. In […]

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/05/22): 3:05pm- On behalf of Elon Musk and Twitter, investigative journalist Matt Taibbi released a series of tweets documenting Twitter's efforts to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2022 Presidential election at the behest of the Biden campaign team. Taibbi wrote, “[b]y 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: ‘More to review from the Biden team.' The reply would come back: ‘Handled.'” The Wall Street Journal's editorial board noted the release as “confirmation of the central role that former spies played in October 2020 in framing the Hunter Biden story in a way that made it easier for Twitter and Facebook to justify their censorship.” 3:35pm- While speaking about his decision to acquire Twitter and publicizing the platform's decision to censor information at the behest of elected officials and political candidates in the past, Elon Musk said, “sunshine is a great disinfectant” for “content take downs” requests and fulfillments. 3:50pm- While appearing on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, actor James Woods revealed that he plans to sue the Democratic National Committee for allegedly ordering Twitter to remove Woods' messages from the social media platform. 4:05pm- On ABC's “This Week,” George Stephanopoulos asked House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries about allegations he is an election denier. Following the 2016 Presidential election, Jeffries frequently referred to Donald Trump as an illegitimate president.  4:15pm- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Jim Jordan accused the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of engaging in political bias when deciding to investigate Donald Trump and vowed to hold them accountable.  4:20pm- According to The Gateway Pundit, Elon Musk has alleged that FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried donated more than $1 billion to Democrat candidates. SBF has been accused of taking customer investments and illegally funneling them to another entity he controlled, Alameda Research. 4:35pm- On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis. The question being asked before the court is whether Lorie Smith, a wedding website designer, is legally permitted to decline creating custom webpages for same-sex weddings—is her religious objection protected by the First Amendment? During oral argument, Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that Colorado law forced Jack Phillips—the cake baker in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission—was forced, by the state, to go through a reeducation program after refusing to make custom cakes for same-sex weddings citing a religious objection. 5:05pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitcs' White House & National Political Correspondent—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her recent article, “Enes Kanter Freedom's World Cup Call to Action.” Crabtree writes, “[t]he 6-foot-10 big man says it's a pivotal time for human rights worldwide and called on all athletes to use their outsized influence to voice support for dissidents bravely standing up to repressive regimes. U.S. and other athletes, he said, also shouldn't remain silent about widespread reports that thousands of migrant workers died in recent years working in Qatar on World Cup projects and stadiums.” Crabtree and Rich also discuss the latest regarding Elon Musk's claims of politically influenced censorship on Twitter.  5:25pm- On TikTok, a high school English teacher bizarrely suggested that grammar and writing rules are racist and oppressive.  5:30pm- While speaking with tech-journalist Kara Swisher, former Head of Trust & Safety at Twitter Yoel Roth defended the social media company's decision to ban the satirical account Babylon Bee for misgendering Dr. Rachel Levin in a joke.  5:40pm- Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said that if the FBI is asking social media companies to suppress certain, inherently political stories, “we have a real problem.”  6:05pm- In the aftermath of Elon Musk exposing Twitter's decision to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, The Wall Street Journal published a public statement issued by intelligence officials from October 19th, 2020. The statement claims that the Hunter Biden story had “all the classic earmarks” of a Russian disinformation campaign. The statement was signed by 51 former officials, including Jim Clapper, Mike Hayden, and John Brennan. We now definitively know their assessment was incorrect. Is this further proof that federal government intelligence agencies have become politicized?  6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? + Zeoli's Final Thought

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Monday in the case of 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. Justices will consider whether a Colorado-based web designer is obligated by the state's law to design wedding websites for same-sex couples. The evangelical Christian web designer is opposed to same-sex marriage on religious grounds. She is challenging the Colorado law on the basis of free speech. Lawyers for the evangelical Christian web designer contend that Colorado law violates the 1st Amendment by making her engage in speech with which she does not agree. We speak with Kenji Yoshino, the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at NYU School of Law and co-author of the upcoming book, Say the Right Thing: How to Talk About Identity, Diversity, and Justice.  

Today we're starting with an update on the Kanye West (Ye) controversy after some of you pointed out that the symbol Ye tweeted (which led to his eventual Twitter suspension) was that of the Raelian Movement, a UFO-based religious group. The story just keeps getting weirder. We discuss how this might tie into his statements of late and why his roots in black supremacy theology are problematic. Then, we look into 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, a case that questions whether Lorie Smith, an artist who runs her own design studio, 303 Creative, should be forced by Colorado law to create websites promoting messages that contradict her beliefs about marriage. We break down yesterday's arguments and explain why this is yet another monumental case to determine what free speech and religious liberty mean in this country. We finish with the tragic story of Athena Strand, a 7-year-old girl who was kidnapped and murdered by a FedEx driver. We reiterate why the death penalty is not only just, it's necessary in cases like this. --- Timecodes: (01:07) Intro / merch discount / podcast update (06:25) Kanye West update (18:25) 303 Creative LLC v.

Sam and Emma host Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer at Slate, to discuss the recent opening arguments that have come in front of the Supreme Court. First, they run through updates on today's Georgia runoff, Ukraine's offensive in Russia, another Fed interest hike, the continuing railway labor fight, and more, before diving into Kevin McCarthy exercising his beautifully weak leadership with Laura Ingraham. Mark Joseph Stern then joins as he dives right into 303 Creative v. Elenis, aka Gay Wedding Cake 2.0, exploring how Alliance Defending Freedom back Lorie Smith and 303's fight to refuse even the possibility of making a website for a same-sex wedding, changing the entire spin of her business to center her argument that allowing the use of one of her templates (not even a personalized website) is the same as a personal endorsement of the marriage. He also dives into the recent debates on the Supreme Court floor, as Alito embarrasses himself attempting to draw a parallel between being queer and being a KKK member. Next, Mark, Sam, and Emma dive into the upcoming Moore v. Harper North Carolina gerrymandering case, outlining who the actors are, how it centers on the radical “Independent State Legislature” theory, and why the GOP is even pretending to think that a state legislature can fully ignore its constitution, courts, and governor when assessing a fair election, before wrapping up with the heartwarming note of why our democracy might come down to a single vote by Amy Coney-Barrett. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma talk with John from San Antonio as he previews today's Georgia Runoff and reflects on the Democrats' shortcomings in the Midterms, also tackling Matt Yglesias becoming the millionth person to ask the same “just asking questions” question about trans healthcare, and talking with Marcus on military vaccinations. Hutt from Manhattan parses through the Squad largely voting against freight rail labor, Sean Row from Chicago discusses the platforming of the right, and Candace Owens responds to the Daily Wire infighting. They also briefly discuss Elon trying to keep up the spark from the Twitter files, plus, your calls and IMs!

When Christian conservatives lost in Masterpiece Cake Shop back in 2018, they regrouped and picked up the trail of breadcrumbs from Justice Clarence Thomas' dissent that suggested a freedom of speech approach. Next week, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in 303 Creative v Elenis - another case that takes aim at Colorado's anti discrimination laws. This time, arguments about whether a website designer has the right to advertise that she will not design websites for same-sex weddings, will be focused on freedom of speech. But as this week's guest, Hila Keren, argues, excluding people from the marketplace and humiliating them in the process is not a matter of free speech, and it is a matter progressives have been largely silent about. Together, Dahlia Lithwick and Professor Keren dig deep into a case that hasn't been given the attention its potential wide-ranging consequences demand.  In this week's Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to talk about another big case - this past week's arguments in US v Texas, including brazen judge-shopping, nationwide injunction-slapping, and President Biden's immigration policy. Then Mark explains exactly what is - and isn't - in the same sex marriage bill that's making its way to President Biden's desk.  Sign up for Slate Plus now to listen and support our show.  Want a behind-the-scenes look at how we create the show?
