California bans travel to Alabama, 7 other states:

People fly to Alabama?

This California law is just a really bad idea which defeats the purpose of American democracy. Under the dictates of federalism states are supposed to be laboratories testing out different laws to see whether or not they work. Allowing one state to tell another state what they can and can’t do — and restricting travel based on those decisions — seems to directly impact interstate commerce in a negative way and negate the impact of federalism. California law should stop at California borders.

Do we really want individual states getting in political disputes because they disagree with individual state laws? It’s just an awful precedent to set.

1 - it's not really going to happen.
2 - why the fuck do you want to eat there?

Seriously , go read a book or something. Your questions and remarks sound like you have never taken a civics class , read the constitution, or have even the slightest idea of what our rights are.
Why would you want to go there is about a dumb a comment a person can possibly make as an argument.

Lol, the dumbass Alabama.com writer thinks Fresno is a state.

So you want to go to businesses that hate you and give people that are ignorant and hate you for stupid reasons money?

And I'm the dumb one?

Btw - do you even know what the commerce clause is?

It depends who you ask. I mean hello!

It's about not about wanting to eat their food or wanting their ice cream or wanting them to fix my car. If they have a business I have a right to be a customer if I decide . I'm a citizen of the United States. I can't go to your house and ask you to serve me. If i break down in front of your house you dont have to help me. You can hate blacks or asians or anyone all you want. But if you take money for a service and run a legitimate business then you have to obey laws.

You have a right to be a customer?

Which amendment is that?

If you come to my house? You mean the property I own, with the building I own?

Yeah, that's called private property. Businesses are also, private property.

Wrong. I tell people all the time I'm not going to sell them something or get the fuck out of my store.

Spoiler

I just don't tell them why

I didn't figure you knew what the commerce clause was.

Fk. You have to be one of the dumbest people here. I own a business. I can;t not object to taking your project because you are .........( insert race). I can't object to renting my duplex to you because you're......(insert race). I can decide not to invite you to my kids birthday party.

Yes, because of the commerce clause loophole.

I'm supposed to jump because you've been googleing and thing you found something. LOL. Go open a restaurant and write a sign that says black not allowed. See how long you're open for. And waive your commerce clause and see where they put it.

California bans travel to Alabama, 7 other states: Crimson Tide game vs. Fresno State in question

No idea why it says the Fresno St game is in question - because it's not.

Texas would be a better place if they could make that apply to all California residents.

The critical issue would probably be whether the business was open to the public. If so, it's covered by a variety of anti-discrimination laws:

The entire United States is covered by the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination by privately owned places of public accommodation on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin. Places of “public accommodation” include hotels, restaurants, theaters, banks, health clubs and stores. Nonprofit organizations such as churches are generally exempt from the law.

The right of public accommodation is also guaranteed to disabled citizens under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination by private businesses based on disability.

The federal law does not prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, so gays are not a protected group under the federal law. However, about 20 states, including New York and California, have enacted laws that prohibit discrimination in public accommodations based on sexual orientation. In California, you also can’t discriminate based on someone’s unconventional dress. In some states, like Arizona, there’s no state law banning discrimination against gays, but there are local laws in some cities that prohibit sexual orientation discrimination.

So, no matter where you live, you cannot deny service to someone because of his or her race, color, religion, national origin or disability. In some states and cities, you also cannot discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. If there is no state, federal or local law prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations against a particular group of people, then you can legally refuse to serve that group of people.

Yeah, the commerce clause loophole.

I understand how it works.

It's kind of like how they justify Obamacare as a tax or whatever.

This is why I try to stay away from the poltics forum.
