States need to mandate businesses post conspicuous notice of discrimination on their businesses.

Notice should be required on all advertisements, websites, and physical places of business.

But I'm certain it would run afoul of the First Amendment. Right wingers love the fact that the 1st Amendment disallows the government from forcing you to say something in addition to disallowing the government from suppressing you from saying something.

In a prior post, I suggested that those of us opposed to discrimination post our own notices on behalf of these businesses by walking an occasional picket sign across their front door, posting on Yelp and Google reviews and even taking out classified ads in newspapers and on Craig's list stating the discrimination. You know, just to help them out!

I know we are dealing with an activist Reich-wing court but states still regulate business.

This hasn’t been adjudicated so let’s see where it goes.

If you are not willing to serve everyone, you shouldn’t be granted a license.
