"Stand for Truth, Equal Justice and the First Amendment!" - Jonathan Alexandre - Washington DC

Jonathan Alexandre inspires with a speech before the Supreme Court steps, addressing the controversial Lorie Smith case. Colorado is once again the battleground in the latest case before the court, brought by graphic designer Lorie Smith. Smith, like bakers Jack Phillips and Aaron and Melissa Klein, and florist Barronelle Stutzman before her, is a Christian business owner who says her religious beliefs prevent her from creating custom websites for a same-sex wedding. But her stance could violate Colorado's public accommodation law, which prohibits businesses open to the public from refusing service because of sexual orientation and announcing their intent to do so.

Smith argues the law violates her First Amendment rights, saying the state is forcing her to express a message she disagrees with.

"If the government can censor and compel my speech, it can censor and compel anybody's speech," she told CBS News before the arguments. "We should all be free to live and work consistently with our deeply held beliefs."
