Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the Supreme Court's decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission:

"Religious freedom is the first freedom, and the government ought not force people of faith to violate their beliefs. The Supreme Court has rightly decided that open hostility to religion has no place in a free country's government and that people of faith deserve full protection under the law, no less than any other citizen."
