Summary: Cathy Miller wins in California Superior Court
There has been some recent developments in several free speech cases. Most recently Cathy Miller has had her 1st Amendment rights vindicated by California Superior Court Judge Eric Bradshaw who ruled that DFEH may not compel someone to violate their 1st Amendment rights by forcing them to say something that they do not agree.
DFEH's enforcement action seeks to compel Miller and Tastries to express support for same-sex marriage, or be silent. No compelling interest justifies such a result under strict scrutiny.
pdfA ruling can be expected soon in the Jack Phillip's case. First Liberty has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in their case in light of
303 Creative LLC v. Elenis currently before the U.S. Supreme Court.
