The discrimination faced by Blacks in the 1960s was not constitutionally mandated. In fact, laws found that set up thee shaky scaffolding of bigotry then were found to be unconstitutional. The same precedents apply to the bigotry faced by homosexuals today. Bigotry is not a constitutional right, no matter how you slice it.Commit these words to your English studies tonight: Public Accomodation [sic] laws.Those who said NO were breaking the law of the land.
The First Amendment is the law of the land. Calling for it to be disregarded and violated leaves you in no position to speak of the rule of law.
Illegal violation of the First Amendment's implied freedom of association. The Constitution is the highest law, and lower laws cannot legitimately override it.
Again, arguing against the Constitution, demanding that it be disobeyed, disqualifies you from making any argument based on any purported support for the rule of law.
Actually, I would say that bigotry is a protected right, but not all applications of bigotry are so protected.
