Actually yes. Because by your admission such a business would never survive. If management did that to any of my coworkers I would quit in solidarity and encourage people not to patronize that business.
Freedom, how does it work?
That is not how this decision will be used and you know it. If you can't win on merit just force it via government. Great plan, dude. Businesses should be able to fire people for any reason. Period.
In my state, they can. Don't even have to give a reason for your firing. I'm ok with that - and I've never been fired from any job.
Freedom is a wonderful thing!
Same as where I live. Right to work state.
In point of fact, businesses operating in the jim crow era would likely also have chosen to not discriminate against a growing customer segment.
Laws are enacted to constrain the freely chosen behaviors of men. If Business owners were so racist that they didn't want black folk eating at their lunch counter or riding at the front of the bus then those restrictions would have been policies and not mandated by law.
The fact that those laws had to be enacted in the first place is arguably evidence that businesses generally do not want to discriminate, even at the high water mark of widespread racism.
My point is not that the Civil Rights Act was unnecessary. (Far from it, lending and banking practices and other policies have been disturbing to say the least.)
My point is that systemic racism quite plainly is not a sin indemic to free market policy, which your tirades could be read to imply.
I am taking some time to absorb the opinion authored by Gorsuch... but I am not a lawyer. His reasoning does seem to be internally consistent, though the wisdom of his position is likely to be questionable for quite some time.
Jim Crow laws were Jim Crow LAWS. People don't write laws, legislators do.
