Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the case of the Colorado baker who refused to make a custom wedding cake for a gay couple. Jack Phillips says he is an artist, and his cakes are free expression. Forcing him to make that cake, his lawyers argue, would be the same as forcing him to say something he doesn’t believe. Court observers Amy Wildermuth and RonNell Andersen Jones join us to talk about where the court may be headed and what it means for equality and free speech.
