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?

The larger question is "At what point does law take precedence over property rights?"

What if I choose not to rent a house to a gay couple or non-Christians? Should the Government step in and force me to rent my house to these people? What if I simply have something against people that are left-handed? Can I choose not to rent to them or should the Nanny State step-in and force me against my will to rest to people that are left handed?

I own two rest houses in Austin and will not rent to smokers, fraternity members or longhaired boys that don't bathe and eat tofu. Should I be tossed in jail for my business decision?

Now, I do understand that I cannot discriminate on race but is that a just law or just greater intrusion of the Government into my business?
