Let’s apply this standard to politicians accused of misconduct. I mean “We’re not talking about depriving them of life or liberty,” we’re merely talking about them being made to work for a living, for crying out loud.

The problem is that as a society, for far too long we have forced individuals to violate the first amendment. No, I am not talking about the religion clause. I am talking about the assembly clause.

The first amendment guarantees the right to peacefully assemble. And just as the rest of the first amendment includes the negative, i.e. the right to NOT do something, the right to assemble also includes the right to NOT assemble. No one can force you to join a church or book club or gym if you do not want to.

Further, we can assemble for ANY reason as long as it is peaceful. That include for the purpose of business. So The People have the right to conduct business with whomever they want to and they also have the right to NOT conduct business with whomever they want.

In short, any law which requires a business to serve anyone that it does not wish to server, is unconstitutional.
