“The first amendment protects the right to peacefully assemble for the purpose of business...”
___________
I don’t think it says anything about business in the First Amendment. I think this judge would say that if the business does not want to offer their services to everybody, then they have to close their business to everybody. I think that is their ultimate goal. To close business that won’t do business with them.
One of the weird things about the story is how the Plaintiff and the Respondent had a long, positive, business relationship in the past. That was her first mistake...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The right to peaceably assemble does not restrict the reason for the assembly. Thus the right to assemble for business purposes is equally protected.
