States have the same anti-discrimination and regulation of commerce laws. And the 14th amendment extends constitutional protections of liberty to state laws. Theres also Art 4, Sec 2
yes... after the civil war the USSC stated that the states have to follow the bill or rights.
but constitutional law/bill or rights is supreme law, federal/ state laws /regulations ........do not override the bill of rights..unless crimes/health safety are involved.
my rights are not contingent on whether or not you think i am a moral person (discrimination), now if i am committing a crime, or doing something which could cause a health or safety issue to the people, government can act on my rights.
Again, its almost unanimous that people in this country should be treated equally regardless of race, sex or religion. We have constitutional text to back that up. We have federal laws to back that up. We have court cases to back that up. We have state and local laws to back that up. We have individuals to back that up. IMO, once you receive a critical mass such as this, the issue is settled, much like it is with freedom of speech, abortion rights, the right to bear arms. Some things are absolutely clear, and freedom from racial discrimination is one of them.
were is it at?, discrimination is a moral issue, and government has no moral responsibility concerning the life's of the people, if they did, they could tell you what to eat, drink, smoke, who you could have sex with , how much money you need to save, how you must talk to other people.....and they dont have that power.
the constitution is clear, and that no person can be put into servitude towards another, unless a crime has been committed, and discrimination is not a crime, its a statutory law, created by government to force us to behave in a social manner.
your argument is based on what the government has created, but they have no powers in their 18 duties to create such laws, constitutions are
not written to limit people or businesses, ..but only to limit governments.
