Today, First Liberty volunteer attorneys argued before the Oregon Court of Appeals on behalf of Christian bakers Aaron and Melissa Klein.
The Kleins, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, are searching for sweet justice after the government effectively forced them to close their Oregon business for running it according to their faith.
These business owners have fought in state courts all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Twice.
Today’s argument comes after the Supreme Court once again vacated the Oregon court’s ruling, sent the case back to the State of Oregon to review and provided them with new direction based on last summer’s Supreme Court ruling in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis.
We're now asking the Oregon Court to right this wrong and recognize Aaron and Melissa’s constitutional rights.
Watch a short message from attorney Stephanie Taub explaining how today’s court date could impact the Klein’s case. You'll also get to hear the full argument:
WATCH NOW »
The first time the Supreme Court sent the case back to Oregon for review, the state didn’t fully resolve the issues.
Now that we’re back in Oregon again, we’re making three things clear in our defense.
The first is that the State of Oregon must follow the Supreme Court’s direction that protects free speech.
The second is the Court’s precedent squarely applies to the Klein’s case.
And the third is that First Liberty’s expert legal team will not stop fighting until Aaron and Melissa have been vindicated of all wrongdoing.
Bottom line, we won’t stand by when an out-of-control government tries to force anyone to say or do something that directly conflicts with their religious beliefs.
But we can’t fight and win against government attacks on faith without your help.
Your support today allows First Liberty to provide Aaron and Melissa Klein with the best possible defense without ever sending them a bill.
Will you stand with Aaron and Melissa and fight the good fight for faith?
