HOLY CARP!!!

The judge is correct. The First Amendment, while it protects all speech (including political & ideological ones), places restriction on the state. It does not compel private entities to accommodate all speech (e.g., a Christian church need not accommodate proselytizing speech of an Islamic Imam). The law regulating private entities as a matter of public accommodations, while prohibiting a limited set of specific forms of discrimination, also do not compel a private business to accommodate all speech. A bar can refuse to serve a MAGA hat wearer as much as it can refuse to serve an Obama-Biden election button wearer. |

I suppose the decision falls under the "No shoes, no shirt, no service" maxim. |
