Conservative justices ruled that web designer Lorie Smith had the right to refuse to serve a gay couple. The man named in the suit says he never contacted her.
On this edition of Your Call, we discuss the 6-3 Supreme Court ruling in favor of Lorie Smith, an evangelical Christian website designer in Colorado who said she should not have to provide services to a an engaged same-sex couple due to her religious beliefs. Smith was represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal advocacy organization, which is listed as an anti-LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Stewart, the man named in the suit, says he never ordered anything from Smith. Former assistant US attorney Andrew Weissmann told Newsweek that if the lawyers representing Smith are found to have made knowingly false representations, the Supreme Court could remove them from practicing in that court and arguing future cases before the justices. Those attorneys could also be referred to their bar associations for sanctioning, which could include suspensions or disbarment.
