In 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, 600 U.S. ____ (2023), a divided U.S. Supreme Court held that the First Amendment prohibits Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees. “The First Amendment envisions the United States as a rich and complex place where all persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as the government demands,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote on behalf of the six-member majority.
