"Which is your right, of course, but it's completely meaningless. Your basic argument comes down to: government cannot regulate what goes on on private property. Nice, I suppose, but completely wrong."

Yep, and we are currently seeing the results of all of this government regulation. US companies are beginning to "shrug" off the government and they are moving off shore. Private restaurants and bars are "shrugging" off the regulation by closing their doors.

Yep, good for AmeriKa all right!

Whether or not governmental regulation of business is a good thing is a completely different question than whether government has the power to regulate business. I'm pretty neutral on the issue of smoking bans. Though I enjoy smoke-free bars, I wouldn't lobby government to pass a smoking ban.

Just because a law might be stupid doesn't make it unconstitutional
