Jones v. Mayer was decided under the 13th Amendment. Heart of Atlanta Motel was decided under the Commerce Clause.

By the way, what is your opinion of my reaction to the decision (that forcing whites to "involuntarily" serve blacks is closer to violating the 13th rather than supporting it)? It wasn't well-received in class, but also wasn't commented on very much. The decision in Jones v Mayer is, of course, much more detailed than a simple "13th Amendment-boom-decided". However, the plain words 'involuntary' and 'service' seem to mean the exact opposite of the result of the decision when applied to the plaintiff's viewpoint.
