RE: Individuals and businesses have every right to discriminate however they want. There’s nothing wrong with personal discrimination.

Actually, I have to disagree. Personal discrimination is sometimes MORALLY WRONG.

For instance, refusing to serve a person simply because he is black is MORALLY WRONG.

The issue however is this — in America and our constitution, is it the government’s job to tell you what is and is not moral?

If you are mean to others, should there be a law that outlaws meanness?

If the answer is no, then based on the fundamental law of this country, we’ll just have to live with the person’s meanness and ostracize him/her PERSONALLY. Why should the bureaucracy insert itself in the situation?

The exercise of a particular instance of discrimination may be morally wrong as far as YOU'RE concerned. But the freedom to choose is a God-given and right or wrong, it is the exercise of God-given liberty, as long as it doesn't interfere with the life and liberty of another. You're standard of morality is not necessarily the same as another's standard pf morality. The morality issue is debatable.

What isn't debatable is the Constitution gives the federal government NO AUTHORITY to interfere with an individual or a business in their freedom of choice.
