Colorado baker makes case for Republican-appointed judges

After Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips won another major victory for religious liberty, judges nationwide should start dissuading anyone else from using the courts to harass anybody in like manner.

Better yet, voters should stop electing Democrats on the state and federal levels who appoint judges and commission members who side with harassers rather than upholding First Amendment freedoms. Either way, though, judges should consider treating some of these cases as “frivolous lawsuits” with appropriate financial penalties and perhaps consider professional sanctions against lawyers who pursue particularly egregious claims meant solely to badger the defendant.
