"Her opponents, meanwhile, say that if she wins, a range of businesses will be able to discriminate, refusing to serve (b)lack customers, Jewish or Muslim people, interracial or interfaith couples or immigrants, among others."

It's called Freedom of Association. We have the right to associate, or not associate, with whomever we wish, for any reason or no reason at all. That right is currently being violated.

Freedom of Association was effectively abolished with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

We have the right to associate, or not associate, with whomever we wish, for any reason or no reason at all.

Correction! We HAD that right, until the 1964 Civil Rights Laws were enacted, which took away those rights!

It is the one, main, most important reason the civil rights laws should be ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!! PERIOD!!

I have said it before, and I will repeat it: If a business wants to put up a sign that says they will not serve black people or Jews, that IS their RIGHT! I would not patron those businesses, but it IS their RIGHT! It's their business - PERIOD!!

If anyone, and I mean ANYONE, thinks this is unconstitutional, then you do not actually believe in ANY freedoms! Freedom of THOUGHT is the most basic of ALL our freedoms! We must be able to believe what we want, commune with whom we want, and live our lives accordingly - PERIOD! What we cannot do is FORCE others to believe our thoughts, live our lifestyles, or live a life that violates our own thoughts...which is the exact opposite of what is happening in America TODAY!! And this was forced on America, by the 1964 Civil Rights Laws!!

The way the Civil Rights Laws have been used as a political WEAPON is the EXACT thing Barry Goldwater said would happen in 1964!! Goldwater was a member of the NAACP! But, he also knew that Titles II and VII of the Civil Rights Laws were UNCONSTITUTIONAL - something the Supreme Court and most of America seem to have ignored!
