There have been several major victories for religious freedom in the Supreme Court, recently. A postal worker wins his case for not having to work on the sabbath. A web designer gets a ruling in her favor protecting her from using her business to advocate homosexual marriage. We also look at the Sweet Cakes case. Precedent is being set in favor of religious liberty and freedoms. Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty is on with us today to give us an update on these victories as well as current cases they are working on. You don't want to miss today's episode!Support the show

It's Monday, July 3rd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Afghanistan instability caused 3,700 civilian casualties Ongoing instability in Afghanistan led to 1,095 civilians killed and 2,679 wounded between August 2021 and May 2023, according to a report from the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. More than 700 of the civilian deaths were caused by improvised explosive devices occurring in public places such as mosques, education centers, and commercial markets.  The Islamic State was responsible for over 1,700 of these civilians being killed or injured. Despite the total collapse of the U.S.-backed Afghan government to Taliban forces and an attack perpetrated by ISIS-Khorasn Province that killed 13 U.S. military personnel, President Joe Biden ordered the U.S. forces to completely withdraw from Afghanistan in August 2021. France deploys 'armored military vehicles' to combat nationwide riots (Sound of machine gun fire) That's the sound of machine gun fire shot by roving immigrant gangs in France which threatens the largely unarmed French citizenry. ZeroHedge.com reports that France has deployed “Armored Military Vehicles” to combat nationwide riots. President Emmanuel Macron's government struggles to contain social unrest across the country.  French interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said overnight chaos has resulted in 2,000 cars burned, 500 buildings damaged, hundreds of businesses looted, and violent clashes with police. He said over 800 people were arrested, with nearly 250 officers injured.  A conservative Twitter account, named Amuse, tweeted, “France opened its borders to culturally diverse immigrants who have largely failed to assimilate. Frustrated, they are going to war against French society.” 17% more abortions in England and Wales According to the new official statistics by the UK Department of Health & Social Care, there were 123,219 abortions  of residents in England and Wales between January and June 2022, reports Evangelical Focus. This was a 17% increase from the same period in 2021 (105,488), and equates to over 680 abortions every day. Proverbs 31:8 reminds us to “speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” American intelligence reveals more pro-abortion violence expected Rev. Jim Harden is the founder of a New York crisis pregnancy center, CompassCare, which was firebombed by pro-abortion terrorists last year when the Dobbs Supreme Court decision was leaked. His pro-life center was one of 90 similar centers which were targeted.  In light of the recent first anniversary on June 24th of the Supreme Court decision to overturned Roe v. Wade, Harden talked to The Worldview about American intelligence about future violence expected from the pro-aborts. HARDEN:  “We know there's going to be more violence ahead targeting pro-life pregnancy centers because on May 24 the Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin from the National Terrorism Advisory System warning of more violence one year after the pro-abortion Kristallnacht was sparked by the illegal leak of the Supreme Court decision Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health. “The bulletin that the [Department of Homeland Security] sent out reads, ‘Factors that could mobilize individuals to commit violence include judicial decisions pertaining to socio-political issues. Likely targets of potential violence, include faith-based institutions.' So, the translation here is that judicial decisions pertaining to socio-political issues refers to the Dobbs anniversary, which is June 24th, and the Fifth Circuit's potential overturning of the FDA's illegal approval of the dangerous chemical abortion drug, mifepristone. Those two things are animating left-wing, pro-abortion extremists.” Supreme Court blocks Biden's $430 billion student loan forgiveness In a 6-3 decision, the U.S Supreme Court handed President Joe Biden a painful defeat on Friday, blocking his plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt -- a move that had been intended to benefit up to 43 million Americans, reports Reuters. The court sided with six conservative-leaning states - Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Carolina - that objected to Biden's student loan forgiveness. Its ruling dealt a blow to the 26 million borrowers who simply did not want to repay the student loans that they themselves initiated after Biden announced the plan in August 2022. Chief Justice John Roberts said that such broad action would require clear congressional approval. Under Biden's plan, the U.S. government was going to forgive up to $10,000 in federal student debt for Americans making under $125,000 who obtained loans to pay for college and other post-secondary education. And Uncle Sam was going to forgive $20,000 of student debt for Pell grants to students from lower-income families. Supreme Court vacates $135,000 fine against Christian bakers And finally, the United States Supreme Court vacated a lower court decision against a Christian couple in Oregon who were punished for not making a cake for a lesbian wedding, reports The Christian Post. In 2013, the owners of Sweetcakes by Melissa, Aaron and Melissa Klein cited their Christian belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. In response, the lesbians filed a complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, in which the government entity concluded that the Kleins had violated the state's accommodations law.  That led to a whopping $135,000 fine against the Kleins, forcing them to close their bakery. In 2016, the Kleins appealed the ruling, but the Oregon Court of Appeals upheld the order in 2018.  That's when the Christian couple first appealed to the Supreme Court. In the Supreme Court's recent decision handed down Friday, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that “the opportunity to think for ourselves and to express those thoughts freely is among our most cherished liberties and part of what keeps our Republic strong.” First Liberty President Kelley Shackleford, who represented the Kleins said, “It's a win when the Supreme Court vacates a bad lower court decision like it did for Aaron and Melissa today, but the case is not over. The Kleins have been fighting for the First Amendment for over a decade and we will stand with them no matter how long it takes to get the victory they deserve.” When Jesus was questioned about marriage by the Pharisees, He asked, “Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,' and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'” (Matthew 19:4-5) Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, July 3rd in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Cheri Helt is a candidate for Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industry (Labor Commissioner) and a former state representative from Bend. On May 17, she finished in second place in the primary, meaning she will move to the general election in November and face civil rights attorney Christina Stephenson.    While this statewide position is nonpartisan, Cheri is a moderate Republican and business owner. Previously, she served on the Bend-La Pine School Board for nearly a decade. In this episode, we talk about her experience as a moderate Republican in the legislature (including a couple of difficult votes she took on the Student Success Act and vaccines). We also cover her vision for the role of Labor Commissioner (apprenticeships, workforce development, BOLI staffing, etc). We have an interesting exchange on the famous "Sweet Cakes by Melissa" decision on LGBTQ+ rights and religious freedom (which played out under Commissioners Brad Avakian and Val Hoyle, but may be resolved by the next Commissioner) where Helt describes how she would approach the decision.   You can learn more about Cheri Helt on her website: www.cherihelt.com

Supreme Court of the United States sends Aaron and Melissa Klein’s case back to Oregon Courts to ensure the Klein’s had a fair trial and address the $135,000 state sanction that was put on them for discrimination. Learn more at FirstLiberty.org/Briefing. The Supreme Court of the United States recently sent our case involving Aaron and Melissa Klein back to Oregon.  You may be wondering: why didn’t the Justices just decide the issue once and for all?  It’s a fair question, and only 9 Americans really know the answer, but perhaps part of the reason is that state-sanctioned hostility to religion keeps getting in the way.  By remanding the case for review in consideration of the Masterpiece Cakeshopdecision, it seems the Justices are asking the lower court to ensure, first, that the Kleins had a fair trial. That could be difficult.  Oregon’s administrator evaluating the charges suggested that the Kleins needed to be “rehabilitated.”  But, only the guilty are in need of rehabilitation. Prejudging the case seems unfair. But, the Justices seem even more concerned with ensuring state officials respect the religious beliefs of those accused of discrimination.  Issuing a $135,000 penalty for “emotional damages” and imposing a gag order barring any public speech discussing their beliefs on the situation, suggests that the State of Oregon was less than respectful toward Aaron and Melissa’s religious beliefs. In other words, it seems that the Justices are trying to stop the bleeding, stemming from an unfair process and state-sanctioned contempt for religious beliefs in public.  Once that bleeding stops, perhaps the court can diagnose and treat the actual problem.  To learn how First Liberty is protecting religious liberty for all Americans, visit FirstLiberty.org.

Leadership Lesson from Southern Food... Sweet Cakes are great to eat, but what if somebody calls you Sweet Cakes?

Kevin McCullough gets the latest from Alliance Defending Freedom's Jim Campbell on Arlene's Flowers, Sweet Cakes by Melissa, and Masterpiece CakeShop, which are all tied up in court.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The past twelve months have been anything but a cake walk for religious bakers. First, we had the seven year fight of Masterpiece Cakeshop's Jack Phillips that initially led to a victory at the Supreme Court, only to be followed by ongoing harassment by Colorado officials and a transgender activist. They seem intent on proving that they really are driven by animus. Then there's the recent story about a bakery in Ohio that was targeted for protests and slander. They were just awarded $11 million by a jury after Oberlin College officials were shown to have instigated their students to believe that the owners of the bakery were racists. Finally, on Monday, the Supreme Court gave what is, to many, an unexpected kind of victory to Melissa and Aaron Klein, the owners of “Sweet Cakes by Melissa” in Gresham, Oregon. Now technically, the Court didn't rule in their favor. The justices instead declined to hear the case, telling Oregon's courts to rethink their ill-treatment of the Kleins in light of the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision. The Klein's ordeal began back  in 2013 when Rachel Bowman-Cryer visited their Oregon bakery to order a wedding cake for her upcoming wedding to her partner, Laurel. The Kleins told Bowman-Cryer that their religious beliefs wouldn't allow them to fill that request. Seven months after the visit, Bowman-Cryer and her partner filed a complaint with Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industries. The administrative law judge there appointed by the then-Labor Commissioner, Brad Avakian, sided with Bowman-Cryer and her partner and awarded them $135,000 in damages. The ruling was then reviewed by Avakian who, even before his Bureau filed a formal complaint against the Kleins, publicly stated “Everyone has a right to their religious beliefs, but that doesn't mean they can disobey laws already in place.” Not surprisingly, Avakian not only affirmed the financial award, he prohibited the Kleins from ever speaking “publicly about not wanting to bake cakes for same-sex weddings based on their Christian beliefs.” An Oregon appeals court upheld the Bureau of Labor's actions, and the Supreme Court of Oregon declined to hear the case. So the Kleins, represented by the First Liberty Institute, appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court. On Monday, the Court declined to hear the case, at least for now. Instead, it decided to vacate the decision by the Oregon appeals court and ordered it to reconsider the matter in light of the Supreme Court's ruling in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case. In Masterpiece, of course, the majority on the high court declared that “religious hostility on the part of the State itself” is a factor that violates the “State's obligation of religious neutrality" under the Free Exercise Clause. That opinion cited numerous examples of conduct by Colorado officials that clearly demonstrated “religious hostility.” By vacating the Oregon court's decision and instructing it to apply Masterpiece to the Sweet Cakes case, the Supreme Court did at least two things. First, as the First Liberty Institute put it, the Court “reaffirmed an essential principle: that everyone is entitled to a fair trial before an unbiased judge”—a benefit the Kleins clearly did not enjoy in Oregon. The second thing the Court's ruling does is leave open the possibility of hearing the case in the future. Given the record of hostility toward the Kleins and their beliefs, the Oregon court could rule for them on narrow grounds without addressing their broader religious freedom claims. But if it doubles down, like the state of Washington did in the case of Barronelle Stutzman, the Kleins could once again appeal to the Supreme Court. The current makeup of the Court seems much friendlier to religious freedom than the court that Jack Phillips visited. All of this makes the Court's actions on Monday good news. Not only for Melissa and Aaron Klein and the First Liberty Institute, but for anyone who cares about religious freedom, which should be all of us.

he U.S. Supreme Court directed Oregon state judges to review a court ruling against a Gresham bakery that refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. The Justices directed the state to consider their ruling last year on a similar issue in Colorado. University of Oregon professor Alison Gash joins us for analysis on the decision.

Jack Phillips’ case may be over but the Supreme Court has the opportunity to make a lasting impact through the case of ‘Sweetcakes by Melissa.” Learn more at FirstLiberty.org/Briefing. Jack Phillips’ long ordeal appears to be over.  But, as Justice Kennedy wrote for the majority in Jack’s case, “The outcome of cases like this in other circumstances must await further elaboration in the courts.”  That includes First Liberty’s clients, Aaron and Melissa Klein. The State of Oregon shut down Aaron and Melissa Klein’s “Sweetcakes by Melissa,” penalizing them $135,000 for the simple act of declining to create a custom wedding cake for a same-sex wedding ceremony. Oregon rests all of its actions on a law that theoretically applies generally to everyone and, on its face, treats religious exercise neutrally.  That position is grounded in the 1990 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court called Employment Division v. Smith.  The product of the late-Justice Antonin Scalia, the majority opinion in Employment Division has been roundly criticized through the years.  The danger of Employment Divisionis that it allows laws that doburden one of the key provisions of the First Amendment—namely, the free exercise of religion—to escape meaningful judicial review. Aaron and Melissa’s case provides the Court an opportunity to correct that. Jack Phillips’ case left American business owners wondering whether the government can prescribe what they believe and force them to confess accordingly.  The Constitution prohibits government officials, high or petty, from compelling small business owners to create a message contrary to their religious beliefs.  To learn how First Liberty is protecting religious liberty for all Americans, visit FirstLiberty.org.

Jeremy Dys, Esq., Deputy General Counsel for First Liberty Institute and host of the First Liberty Briefing, discusses the case of Sweet Cakes by Melissa. As with Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop, Sweet Cakes owners, Aaron and Melissa Klein, balked at creating a special wedding cake for a lesbian couple. Because of their stand, the state of Oregon put them out of business and fined them $135,000. The case has been appealed to the Oregon Supreme Court, and Dys says if necessary, the case will go to the U.S. Supreme Court. Learn more about First Liberty at firstliberty.org.

MONDAY - April 3, 2017 The Impact Radio Show w/Timothy Moore 4PM on KKPZ 1330 AM & KKPZ.com LIVE INTERNET FEED Religious Freedom - The Story of Sweet Cakes by Mellisa. Guest: Lawyer Micheal Berry with First Liberty Institute. First Liberty is representing Melissa and Aaron Klein former owners of Sweet Cakes by Mellisa. In 2013 Sweet Cakes by Mellisa was asked by a woman to make a cake for her same sex wedding. As devout Christians the Klein's felt that helping celebrate the wedding would violate their faith. This prompted the state of Oregon to punish the Klein's with a $135,000 penalty and issuing a gag order against them. The Klein's, forced to close Sweet Cakes by Mellisa, have appealed the ruling to the Oregon Court of Appeals. http://firstliberty.org/cases/kleins/ #theimpactradioshow theimpactradioshow.com

Sweet Cakes by Melissa finally got their day in court. The Oregon bakery was owned by Aaron and Melissa Klein, a devout Christian couple. Their problems began about four years ago, when a woman asked the Kleins to create a special wedding cake for her daughter, who was planning to marry her lesbian partner. The Kleins declined, saying that as Christians, they could not prepare a special cake celebrating gay marriage. The lesbian couple then filed a complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries. Administrative hearings were held, and they went against the Kleins. They were forced to pay a $135,000 fine that resulted in them closing their shop. They were also given a gag order, preventing them from discussing certain aspects of the case, including their religious opposition to gay marriage. But the Kleins refused to stop fighting even though they lost their business. With the help of the First Liberty Institute, the largest legal organization in the country dedicated exclusively to protecting religious freedom, they were able to move their case away from an administrative organization and into the court system. Their case was finally heard before a judicial body, the Oregon Court of Appeals, earlier this month. Guest Jeremy Dys, senior attorney with the First Liberty Institute, discusses this case.

The story of Aaron and Melissa Klein of Sweet Cakes has taken the country by storm. They've lost their business and are being fined $135,000 by the state of Oregon for choosing not to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding. Aaron reached out to The Church Boys this week about a very specific and scary threat his family just received from the crowd of the "tolerance brigade" and detailed some of the many other threats and crimes that have been committed against his family. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thechurchboys/message
