    Meh let the customers decide who they want to do Business with. Piss off enough people in your community and your doors will close. If the community supports what your doing well then winners all around.

    This is my view to the extreme. I don't believe anyone should have to serve anyone else for any reason even if it's for reasons I disagree with.

    The courts have not agreed with me for some time now.

    Texas, ya'll
    I think that a business should be able to discriminate against ANY class of people that they want to. We already allow businesses here in Texas to discriminate against those of us who believe and practice our 2nd Amendment rights, they just have to post certain signs on/by their doors in a certain wording and format to do so. We as consumers can then choose whether we want to do business with companies that choose to discriminate against our 2nd Amendment rights. The same should go for any other group of people. If a business wants to not do business with old white guys (like myself), blacks, people wearing droopy pants, or Pastafarians wearing plastic colanders on their heads, they should be allowed, as long as they publish the required notice on/by their front door. The rest of the consumers can *choose* whether to do business with a company that discriminates as such. Maybe consumers will agree with it and give the company more business or maybe the consumers will not agree with it and the company will go out of business. Either way, it is the market that is deciding, not the government.

    The wedding is over, there probably was a cake there, so there is no remedy available without a time machine. The whole case seems moot. If the gays had waited until the SCOTUS decision, then there would be a possible remedy.
    The wedding was over when they ordered the cake- they went to some state back East where they could legally get married/unionized since it wasn't allowed in CO at the time... they were just allegedly having a reception in Colorado after the fact.

    This whole thing was a publicity stunt, and maybe they even had judges lined up to decide they way they wanted from the get-go (the 9th circuit is a no-brainer on which way they'll decide- literally)

    If SCOTUS upholds the lower courts' decision, then we should hire the ACLU to handle a few pro-2A cases.

    ACLU position


    Given the reference to "a well regulated Militia" and "the security of a free State," the ACLU has long taken the position that the Second Amendment protects a collective right rather than an individual right. For seven decades, the Supreme Court's 1939 decision in United States v. Miller was widely understood to have endorsed that view. This position is currently under review and is being updated by the ACLU National Board in light of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in D.C. v. Heller in 2008.

    In striking down Washington D.C.'s handgun ban by a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court's decision in D.C. v. Heller held for the first time that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, whether or not associated with a state militia. The ACLU disagrees with the Supreme Court's conclusion about the nature of the right protected by the Second Amendment. However, particular federal or state laws on licensing, registration, prohibition, or other regulation of the manufacture, shipment, sale, purchase or possession of guns may raise civil liberties questions.
