WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNN) – The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

In a ruling of 7-2, the court found that the Colorado civil rights commission showed hostility toward baker Jack Phillips based on his religious beliefs.

Phillips refused to bake a cake to celebrate the marriage of David Mullins and Charlie Craig because he said he had a religious objection.

The ruling may be a win for Phillips, but it is not the wide-ranging ruling on religious liberty that some expected.

The decision is tailored for the Colorado case and leaves unsettled the broader constitutional questions the case presented.
