Bakery Religious Freedom Case Is a Slam Dunk—In a Sane World

The Supreme Court made several monumental rulings yesterday and agreed to hear another that will decide whether religious freedom is still a core principle in the United States. The long-awaited showdown on religious freedom — as it applies to Christian bakers, florists, photographers and owners of wedding venues providing services for same-sex weddings — will finally have its day in court.

“Here’s why you should care about this story. Freedom of religion, the freedom to exercise the dictates of your own conscience is at stake. You may have to participate in compelled speech. That’s not good. You may have to participate in things that you have a deep feeling and a deep belief that it is wrong. We are talking about at the level of, if you’re a pacifist and you’re a Quaker, do you have to go and fight?” Glenn asked on radio Tuesday.

Unless the high court upholds the First Amendment as written, services providers will be forced to violate their deeply held religious beliefs to serve customers.

“How can you possibly violate the First Amendment by forcing the baker to participate in something that is a violation of his religious convictions? This is a slam dunk in a sane world,” Glenn said.

We’ll know in due time. The justices are expected to rule on the appeal case from Colorado baker Jack Phillips in 2018.
