I understand the distinction you’re getting at, and I agree they’re different things. But I still feel like the underlying Supreme Court precedent in Heart of Atlanta and federal law in 42 USC 2000a only go so far as to carve out a very narrow subset of businesses that aren’t allowed to discriminate, out of a…

Someone else pointed out in the replies that Colorado does too, so there’s a few. But I’m concerned that Article 1 Section 10 stops states from going so far as to tell all businesses of all sorts how to do business. We’ll see.

dude, quit trying to find ways to phrase it so that I’m “ok with it happening.” I’m not ok with it happening. But the government does not have the power to stop everything that I am not ok with.

The right to do business with other people isn’t something you’ll find super explicit in the constituion, but somewhere between the first amendment (protecting the freedom of speech and assembly) and Article 1 Section 10 of the constitution (preventing States from impairing obligations of contract) it’s pretty heavily…

Now,why doesn’t that surprise me?

I’ve always felt this case is a bit weird. On the one hand, HELL NO YOU CAN’T SAY NO JUST BECAUSE THEY AREN’T STRAIGHT.

All the while playing the victims.
Just like the puritans who felt they were being ‘persecuted’ by the english because they weren’t allowed to persecute others.

A literal embrace of prejudice. Again. I wish the NYT or WaPo would just use the headline “BIGOT CALLS FOR...” whatever whatever. It’s not opinion, it’s fact.

Anyone who has a knee-jerk reaction like this probably shouldn’t get married.
