Tony Perkins: Wash. State Supreme Court Tramples First Amendment in Ruling Against Stutzman

The Washington State Supreme Court issued a ruling today that puts at risk the home and personal assets of Barronelle Stutzman, a florist shop owner who told two men that she'd be happy to sell them flowers but couldn't – in good conscience – arrange them for a wedding ceremony that violated her faith.

The Washington State Supreme Court's ruling tramples on our nation's long held tradition of respecting the freedom of Americans to follow their deeply held beliefs, especially when it comes to participating in activities and ceremonies that so many Americans consider sacred.

It seems to me the Washington State Supreme's didn't trample the 1st Amendement as much as  John Roberts did opening the door on such actions when he forced Americans to buy Obamacare.
