I wrote earlier this month that the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman’s case would have far-reaching consequences for religious liberty and the freedom of speech. However, there are some costs that are much more immediate but just as devastating.

Stutzman, a 77-year-old grandmother, must now return to Washington trial court to determine how much she owes the American Civil Liberties Union for its legal fees, which could be up to seven figures, according to the Alliance Defending Freedom. She must also pay the $1,000 fine imposed on her by the state of Washington when she declined to create floral arrangements for a same-sex wedding. And keep in mind that Stutzman’s business was also severely affected by the several years she spent in court. She stopped offering wedding services to avoid similar disputes, and she is unsure if she’ll ever be able to offer them again.
