Barronelle Stutzman, proprietor of Arlene's Flowers flouted Washington's nondiscrimination ordinance |
Alliance Defending Freedom filed a supplemental brief on June 6 claiming that, like the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado, the state was openly hostile to religion. The state and respondents Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed have filed responses. The ACLU, on behalf of Ingersoll and Freed, wrote:
Petitioners now claim this
case, like Masterpiece Cakeshop, was tainted by
religious hostility in the adjudication of the
complaint. Both because Petitioners never raised
this claim in their petition for certiorari, and because
there is no evidence in the record to support the
assertion in any event, the Court should deny
certiorari.
We might get a decision from the Court on whether or not they will hear this case on Monday. I have given up on trying to figure out what the Supreme Court might do.
Arlene's Flowers is represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, an anti-LGBT hate group.
Eugene Volokh reminds me that even if the Court chooses not to hear the case that does not settle the issue. They could choose to hear another case after letting the matter simmer for a year or two.
