the Associated Press.On Monday, the three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals of Denver rejected Smith’s appeal 2-1 to overturn a lower court’s ruling that threw out her suit.The organization that represented Smith, the Alliance Defending Freedom, said the law went against her Christian religious beliefs.
Colorado’s Solicitor General Eric Olson argued that Smith shouldn’t be able to challenge the law because she had yet to start offering wedding websites.The law Smith challenged is the same law at the center of the Jack Phillips suit that the U.S.
Supreme Court decided in 2018. The court decided Colorado’s Civil Rights Commission had treated Phillips with anti-religious bias after he refused to bake for a same-sex couple.
