The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with a Colorado-based website designer, holding that the state's anti-discrimination law would have an impact on her business and violate her First Amendment rights.

Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the 6-3 majority opinion, holding that "The First Amendment prohibits Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees."

"Colorado seeks to force an individual to speak in ways that align with its views but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance," Gorsuch added.

Gorsuch's majority opinion was joined by the court's Republican-appointed justices while liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.

"Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class," Sotomayor wrote in her dissent.

The lawsuit brought against Colorado's anti-discrimination law stems from a religious business owner who sees herself as an artist who does not want to use her creative talents to express a message against her beliefs.
