The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Colorado graphic designer on Friday in what Alliance Defending Freedom is calling a “landmark victory for free speech.” But critics were quick to claim that the ruling lacked legitimacy — and that ADF senior counsel Erin Hawley, who litigated 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, is somehow at fault.
Hawley suggested to The Daily Signal in a Wednesday phone interview that leftist activists are “grasping at straws” as they grapple with the court’s ruling. A number of recent high-profile cases have left liberal activists furious and calling for an expansion of the number of seats on the court.
