Bring it. The type of company that has the will, the talent, the capital, and the worldview to decide to be involved in the planning, construction, operation, or maintenance of The Wall is the type of company that will be targeted soon enough for destruction by The Looters, whether they actually are involved in this particular project or not.

Build The Wall and call the moving van as the last check coming from DHS is being written.

Quite. A nice hefty lawsuit of oh, $50 million, should get these hate mongers to shut it long enough to build the wall.

In the meantime it may not hurt for an out of state company to come in to build the Commiefornia section of the wall.

I’d work on that wall just to tick Californication off!

Seriously, they cannot blacklist any citizen. THAT is illegal, and probably unconstitutional. Although with the whacky liberal judges we see lately, the constitution is maybe not relevant.

“Makes no matter; Trump just lost his border wall today.”

Sadly, l think that’s probably true. If it somehow gets built maybe it should be moved to AZ’s western border and CA can go to hell.

Letter to the editor. I find the term “blacklist” offensive and racist.

No shit. Why don’t we just have a judge say the other judges’ ruling was unconstitutional and Trump has absolute authority over immigration. We can play this all day long.

Philip Y. Ting

Author of Assembly bill 1732

All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities by signage that complies with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.

A comment from bill author Assemblyman Ting read in part, “…current practices that restrict access to single-occupancy restrooms by gender create problems of safety, fairness, and convenience.” Ting argued that gender specific, single-occupancy restrooms are a “burden” on LGBT persons.

Tell the little red bastard that this type of “blacklist” is illegal, discriminatory, and possibly a form of criminal extortion/blackmail.

Oh, this is a California DingDong. Never mind!

I don’t see how such a boycott would be legal if the firm was participating in a federal government project Can a state divest from its own government?

When you have Federal judges for pets, following the law is unacceptable for conservatives and has no meaning for liberals.
