“The Commission’s hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion,” Kennedy wrote. “Phillips was entitled to a neutral decisionmaker who would give full and fair consideration to his religious objection as he sought to assert it in all of the circumstances in which this case was presented, considered, and decided."
Kennedy seized in particular on one commissioner’s comment that invoked slavery and the Holocaust before blasting Phillips’ religious freedom claim as “one of the most despicable piece of rhetoric that people can use to ... to use their religion to hurt others.”
“This sentiment is inappropriate for a Commission charged with the solemn responsibility of fair and neutral enforcement of Colorado's anti-discrimination law — a law that protects discrimination [sic] on the basis of religion as well as sexual orientation,” Kennedy wrote.
