In an amicus brief filed in the U.S. Supreme Court on Sept. 7 in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice sided with the Christian bakery owner who refused to design and create a cake for a same-sex wedding (full text).

Some 15 other amicus briefs in support of petitioner have also been filed. Links to them are available on SCOTUSblog’s case page. The due date for amicus briefs in support of respondent has not yet arrived. Christian News reports on the filing of the amicus brief.
