*sigh*

Looks like we're going to have an extended battle all the way to the Supreme Court. Oh well, I guess that's what it takes to preserve human rights in some states.

    It seems they forget that the federal government is limited to 19 enumerated rights. State governments are limited to protecting health, morals, and welfare of its citizenry. I don't believe that this falls into any of these categories.

    What about it? The business is asking the government to force people to comply with that "right". Rights that need to be enforced at the point of a gun aren't rights.

    to "preserve human rights"? don't get me started... there is no "human right" to receive service from someone else's private property

    I believe this is discrimination when Jewish delicatessens, keeping kosher, are forced to serve pork products, Muslim own restaurants who keep Halal not only forced to carry pork producers also forced to to sell alcohol and Hindu Indians forced to sell beef curry.

    What about the rights of a business to choose with whom they conduct business?
