Wednesday round-up

Briefly:

• At Balkinization, Marty Lederman explains why, in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which the court will decide whether the First Amendment bars Colorado from requiring a baker to create a cake for a same-sex wedding, the religious hostility theory of the case for Masterpiece is weaker than some Justices might have assumed.
• Subscript offers a graphic explainer of Supreme Court case law governing when the establishment clause of the First Amendment bans religious holiday displays on government property.
