Thats because you can't defend your position.Question: Have you actually read the Constitution? I am pretty sure the answer is no. Because your comments indicate you dont know anything about it. The Constitution is very specific in many places. The right to keep and bear arm is pretty specific. The right to freedom of speech etc is pretty specific. But there is no right to service by private entitites mentioned anywhere. Please show me where it is and I can agree the federal government should be enforcing that right, as it ought to against forfeitures.Needless to say your ignorance and stupidity have led you to confuse apples and oranges.Dumbshit. You think you proved anythign but how stupid you are?
The Federal government guarantees Constitutional rights. No one argues that.
Don't get your knickers in a twist, Rabbi. The fact of the matter is that there's a simple truth that I've never heard any conservative openly acknowledge before when it comes to the concept of States rights. It's how certain states have historically used the concept of 'States rights' as a legalistic 'license' in order to continue the practices of historical discrimination which had the effect of abridging the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. This tactic was little more than a transparent attempt to hold on to power and White privilege, mostly in the southern states, even though it was gussied up to look like a Constitutional argument.
So, YOUR acknowledgement that the States using this forfeiture law needed to be reigned in was and is a tacit admission that individual states can and do engage in an abuse of power from time to time, regardless of their rationale for their actions. Under such conditions, it's incumbent on the Federal Gov't to step in to rectify the abridgment of the Constitutional rights of the citizens of individual states.
There is no guarantee under the Constitution to eat in a particular restaurant, to stay in a particular hotel, or to attend a particular school. Ergo it is not a matter for the Federal government to dictate those things.
Your example of forfeiture is clearly spelled out in the Constitution, 5th Amendment. As such states and municipalities run afoul of an explicit right. The federal government too because they engage in forfeiture all the time.
So you look like an idiot. Again.
LOL! Does this ignorant argument of yours work on people? Stupid people, perhaps. Undoubtedly, bigots buy into it big time.
Yeah, there's also no guarantee under the constitution that allows you (or anyone, for that matter) to live where you want to live either. In fact, the constitution doesn't say much of anything about a lot of specifics since it's a general framework of rights and not a grocery list of rights.
Wanna try again? Next time try not to look like a simpleton.
Free speech is not all that specific considering all the possible ways to interpret what constitutes speech.
Is singing and expressing yourself late at night an example of free speech, or is it disturbing the peace?
Is expressing your opinion under any and all circumstances a protected right of your freedom of speech, or is what you can say and when you can say it restricted by circumstances and content (like when you're at work or when you offer unsubstantiated derogatory opinions that harm someone's reputation?)
Why is it that money being spent of political advertising is now considered an example of free speech if it's not spelled out in the constitution that you can pay money to have your views printed and disseminated as opposed to just speaking to a crowd of gathered people?
Additionally, the right to keep and bear arms is not absolute since there are MANY places where you are legally prohibited from carrying firearms.
I won't even bother to start in on public accommodations.
