Summary

| 0:00.0 | We'll hear argument first this morning in Case 21476 303 Creative LLC versus Illanus. |
| 0:11.4 | Hey everyone, this is Leon from Fiasco and Prologue Projects. |
| 0:15.4 | On this episode of 5-4, Peter, Rianan and Michael are talking about 303 Creative LLC, the Alainus. |
| 0:24.4 | The case centers around a graphic designer, Laurie Smith, who says that a Colorado law |
| 0:29.2 | prohibiting businesses from discriminating against the customers would force her to create content |
| 0:33.8 | for same-sex couples, contrary to her religious beliefs. Smith's argument is that making a |

| 1:52.3 | Let's stress for you though. Yes. Jalus. It's good. I love it. |
| 2:00.0 | All right. Today, sort of an emergency episode. It's a short turn around episode today's case |
| 2:08.8 | 303 Creative The Alenis. This is a case about free speech and at the time of recording, |
| 2:16.4 | dropped today. Yeah, we are recording this on the day that this opinion dropped. That's right. |
| 2:21.0 | Yeah. More specifically, this is a case about whether a homophobic rat of a woman who has a |
