[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2151277, member: 25419"] Well, well , well... Seems to me the whole issue could be contained by the 10th amendment. We lost that particular legal point in April, 1865. Let the states decide for themselves how best to govern. Our schools, prisons, healthcare, traffic laws, drug laws, hiring laws - all dictated by Washington. How many who say "I should have the right to marry who I want, the government should butt out" would be willing to say "I should be able to hire who I want, discriminate who I want, and allow or not allow who I want in my business or restaurant, the government should butt out"? The right to say what you want in your own business, does not exist without the fear of government fining or shutting you down, because of sexist, racist, or particular religious view, if you make someone "uncomfortable". The gov will force you into line or out of business. Now, I'm not saying we should discriminate, but if an individual has rights, surely the right to own and manage property the way he sees fit should be protected. [/QUOTE]
