So you think our Constitution guarantees the fundamental right of a sleaze-merchant to operate a strip club in a town that votes overwhelmingly to prohibit it?

Obviously, the Constitution does not guarantee a "right" to maintain a business when your potential customers decline to patronize it, any more than it guarantees an audience to your free speech when your potential listeners decline to pay any attention to it.

NOWHERE does the Constitution guarantee a private-property owner rights to operate a business on his property that transgresses the moral standards of a local community.
