I have a question.
Under the recent Supreme Court case ruling that a wedding website designer could refuse to provide her services to a gay couple because to do so would require her to write something that she did not want to say, thereby violating her First Amendment right to free speech, if I were the owner of a sign shop could I refuse to make signs for Democratic candidates because I do not want Democrats to win elections and to require me to design a sign that says “Elect ______, Democrat for State Senate” would violate my freedom of speech? What if I refused to make such signs for Black candidates because I don’t think Blacks should be elected to office? Or women candidates? Or Catholic candidates? Or Jewish Candidates?
