There is no right of a private citizen to have their book sold at another citizen's retail store.

Why don't we leave it to the retailers themselves to call or not call for bans?

The First Amendment of the Constitutions leaves that right to everybody. Even harpie-rat Jersey politicians.

"The First Amendment of the Constitutions leaves that right to everybody. Even harpie-rat Jersey politicians."

Constitution doesn't allow any of these though, and I'll cut and psate from post 221:


"I would point to the DOJ lawsuits against Microsoft when Bill Gates wouldn't donate money to the Democrats. I would point to the IRS audits of Bill O'Reilly and The Heritage Foundation. Power to abuse citizens isn't "delegated," but the power to direct Government agencies to harass and abuse citizens is used nevertheless. But you know that and you can't possibly believe otherwise. And that is why Government Officials should not be "asking" "private citizens," or "retailers" to "ban" things that are Constitutional, such as books, that those same officials find offensive. Would you state that these elected officials would be within of their Constitutional rights to start "asking" "private citizens" or "retailers" to "ban" sales of the Bible?"

That is exactly the direction the Joisey harpy politicians are heading.
