Read full article: Colorado baker sued again over alleged LGBTQ bias

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2018 the commission showed anti-religious bias when it sanctioned Phillips.

AdBefore filing her lawsuit, Scardina filed a complaint against Phillips with the state, and the Colorado Civil Rights Commission found probable cause that Phillips had discriminated against her. Phillips then filed a federal lawsuit against Colorado, accusing it of waging a “crusade to crush” him by pursuing the complaint.
