From the article:
"2. State-enforced speech is a blatant violation of the First Amendment.
If [Ms. Smith] wishes to speak, she must either speak as the State demands or face sanctions for expressing her own beliefs, sanctions that may include compulsory participation in ‘remedial . . . training,’ filing periodic compliance reports as officials deem necessary, and paying monetary fines. … Under our precedents, that ‘is enough,’ more than enough, to represent an impermissible abridgment of the First Amendment’s right to speak freely."
6". The Constitution calls for tolerance of others’ speech and religious expression, not state-enforced coercion.
Of course, abiding the Constitution’s commitment to the freedom of speech means all of us will encounter ideas we consider ‘unattractive,’ … ‘misguided, or even hurtful’ … But tolerance, not coercion, is our Nation’s answer. The First Amendment envisions the United States as a rich and complex place where all persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as the government demands."
8". The Constitution trumps all.
[T]his Court has also recognized that no public accommodations law is immune from the demands of the Constitution. In particular, this Court has held, public accommodations statutes can sweep too broadly when deployed to compel speech. … When a state public accommodations law and the Constitution collide, there can be no question which must prevail."
This witch's spell is DOA, thanks to SCOTUS. Also, this witch looks like her "ambrosia " supply is low.
A very good article on Justice Gorsuch commenting on the dissent in the recent SCOTUS ruling on free speech -

I am so glad the courts are standing up for the constitution now. It's looking like we are getting back to the basic.
