[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]Part of the 14th Amendment is known as the Equal Protection Clause. A state can not act as an instrument of discrimination as many sates of the South did.[/i] Of course. No one's arguing about state-sponsored segregation. We're talking about private discrimination. [i]The Constitution does not guarantee the unrestricted privilege to engage in a business or to conduct it as one pleases.[/i] The Consitution doesn't guarentee that I have a right to put my feet on my desk. I have my feet on my desk at this very moment, and I doubt anyone will argue that I do not have that right. Look at the ninth ammentment some time. [i]In the above, the Court clearly concluded that business is open to regulation.[/i] The court was wrong. This is where the tenth ammendment comes into play: if the Constitution doesn't say the government can do it, the government CAN'T do it. Simple as that. [i]And corporations are creations of a State.[/i] No, they're not. They're creations of a number of people who gather together in a single endevour. Look, Jay, you can call up all the eronius court ruling and laws all you want, and it won't change anything. Under the United States Constitution, which like it or not IS the law, the government can not discriminate against people based on their beliefs. That INCLUDES racism. That means that the government can not restrict someone's rights to private property because of a choice to discriminate. That is, quite simply, the restriction of someone's rights for the express reason that they believe a certain thing. That can not be justified. [/QB][/QUOTE]
