Ilya Shapiro is the director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute and author of supreme disorder

Judicial nominations and the politics of america's highest court professor Shapiro. Thank you for joining us today really appreciate it

My pleasure great to be with you

You have been a very busy guy today. So you on fox news earlier reacting to the rulings first

Well, let's talk about the ruling regarding the first amendment when it comes to speech and I thought got justice

Gorsuch and his opinion. I thought he nailed it

Yeah, absolutely. This is what I couldn't hold for anything more

And I was expecting based on the way that the opinions assignments were shaking out that he was the one to be writing

He's the perfect one to be writing it

Because he's right at that mix of protecting

Gay rights and protecting the first amendment where the celebrity isn't and and all the rest of it

I happen to be one of only three lawyers in the country to file briefs supporting both jimmo burga fell in the

The marriage cases and jack phillips and now Laurie Smith

in the pushback against

States forcing people to try to convey messages they don't want and I think he got it just right

The the government cannot compel you to speak

Whatever message it's a private business. There's no monopoly situation here

It's not like you're in a hotel or restaurant and nobody will serve you for miles and miles around

So this is a big win for for the freedom of speech

I agree with you and obviously the reaction from a lot of people today on the left is that this is a license to discriminate
