Where is the Property Rights prospective here at Free Republic? What if the landlord did not want to rest to people with children, single mothers, gays, non-Christians, smokers, Republicans or the mobility impaired. Would the popular stance be that the Landlord has the property right to make that choice or should the government mandate who a landlord can lease an apartment?

Interestion question, but the Soldiers and Sailors Act was designed to protect servicemen called overseas in time of war. I don't think it protects anyone who simply doesn't pay his rent.

In less democratic times, any landlord who evicted a person who was overseas and out of communication would have been tarred and feathered.

Sorry, but that's an outmoded way of thinking. You do NOT have the right to deny housing to someone who is black, for example. That's considered illegal, do you understand that?

Or are you asking the Supreme Court to toss all that out, save only the right of someone to offend at will?
