Gorsuch suggests Colorado baker forced to go through ‘reeducation program’

Published December 12, 2022 12:00am ET



Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch interrogated Colorado‘s solicitor general Monday, asking whether the state forced a Christian baker to undergo a “reeducation program” when he refused to create a custom cake celebrating same-sex marriage on the basis that it goes against his sincere religious beliefs.

Gorsuch’s remark toward Colorado Solicitor General Eric Olson (D) came during oral arguments surrounding a Christian web designer who petitioned the justices over her refusal to create a customized webpage celebrating a same-sex marriage if a client commissioned her to make such a product.
