Demonstrate it then.

Being forced to serve and labor on behalf of others against your will is.

Then don't open up public accommodations. Start a membership only club.

It's funny how the laws and courts get it so wrong all the time and nobody notices except for a few scholars on tpf.

I don't think the current SCOTUS would overturn the current law on public accommodations. It would likely be a 9-0 vote, although with many concurring opinions (agreeing on result but not reasoning).

They wouldn't do it because it would not be popular. That doesn't mean it would not be the right thing to do. Public accommodation laws are wrong. No person should ever be forced under threat of penalty, to labor on behalf of another against his will. That goes against the very foundations upon which this country was founded.

I don't think it is funny, at all. It just proves there are a lot of weak and stupid people in this country.

I disagree and believe you are wrong. Remember, you can refuse to serve someone for any reason, or no reason, just not an illegal reason.

Yes, the vast majority of judges in the country are weak and stupid.

How silly of me to think otherwise.

It would be 9-0 because it is settled constitutional law.
