After the Supreme Court ruled Colorado cannot compel a web designer to create messages that run against her sincere Christian beliefs, liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented and said the majority reduced LGBT people to"second-class status."
In Gorsuch's majority opinion, he said Justices Sotomayor's dissent was a distortion of the case at hand, adding that it"reimagines the facts of this case from top to bottom." Rather than focusing on the key aspects of the case, Gorsuch said the dissent"spends much of its time adrift on a sea of hypotheticals about photographers, stationers, and others, asking if they too provide expressive services covered by the First Amendment."
"The unattractive lesson of the majority opinion is this: What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is yours. The lesson of the history of public accommodations laws is altogether different. It is that in a free and democratic society, there can be no social castes," Sotomayor said.
