A small bakery in Lakewood, Colorado, has been the target of litigation for over a decade, and sadly, they will remain in the crosshairs of the woke mob without a more clear and decisive ruling from a court. “Bake the cake!” is the refrain of its critics, who allege that the bakery is hostile to gay and transgender rights. But the owner—Jack Phillips—simply declines to create art that goes against his personal, religious beliefs.

While lost in the news cycle of a major election, encouragingly, Mr. Phillips just won his second legal battle in defense of his right to say no, but as was the case the first time around, the ruling was on very narrow grounds. As a result, Masterpiece Cakeshop will inevitably face another legal challenge and Jack Smith will continue to endure additional years of torment for standing up for his deeply held beliefs. This is unacceptable.

First, in 2012, a same-sex couple sued Jack for not baking a cake for their wedding celebration. Colorado didn’t even recognize gay marriage at the time, but that didn’t stop the lower courts........
