Abstract
Many people ask Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado, how he feels as he considers the United States Supreme Court's ruling in his case, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. Phillips' feelings are a whirlwind as he contemplates whether this great diverse American nation still has breathing space for him and the millions of additional people whose religious principles do not permit them to support same-sex marriage.
