On Equal Opportunity/Private Sector Civil Rights Rules
I SUPPORT EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, INCLUDING SOME SORT OF NARROWILY TAILORED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
PROGRAM BASED ON DISABILITY AND ECONOMIC CLASS.
I SUPPORT REASONABLE CIVIL RIGHT LAWS THAT APPLY TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THE IDEA -- PROMOTED BY SOME ON THE FAR RIGHT -- THAT SUCH LAWS ARE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL IS A DUMB IDEA, IN MY MIND.
I SUPPORT REASONABLE EXEMPTIONS TO PUBLIC ACCOMODATION RULES TO ENSURE THAT A SELF-EMPLOYED OR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER HAS A FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO DECIDE
WHETHER OR NOT THE OWNER WANTS TO CONTRACT WITH A SAME-SEX COUPLE OR INDEED AN OPPOSITE-SEX COUPLE TO PROVIDE EXPRESSIVE SERVICES.
