I’m surprised they took the case. It seems like a carbon copy of the cake decorator case that set this precedent.

> But the Supreme Court now says artists cannot be compelled to express messages against their religious beliefs.

How is this conclusion different from the conclusion they reached in the cake decorator case?

(Also in CO if I’m not mistaken)

You misunderstand the baker case. All that case ruled was that the Colorado Civil Rights Commision was harassing Masterpiece Cakeshop, and that they needed to stop. It's why as soon as the case was over, the baker was sued again by someone else.

In the cake case, they ended up not really ruling on the issue and focusing on the specific treatment of the baker by the commission rather than the broader rights concerns.
