And we can regulate commerce to say that you have to have a good faith and fair dealings clause implied in every contract. You don't even negotiation with a person because of something unrelated to the deal, then you are not bargaining in good faith. That's the law, discrimination laws are just an extension of that idea.
The constitution doesn't authorize any such regulations.
Liberal turds keep inventing rules that just don't exist.
Nonsense. The constitution authorizes the regulation of commerce. The federal government has interstate commerce regulation authority. With the States possessing intrastate commerce authority.
You simply don't know what you're talking about.
Here is what the word "commerce" meant when the Constitution was signed:
Roland Original Understanding of the Commerce ClauseThat doesn't include Pizza restaurants.
As originally understood, interstate "commerce" did not include primary production, such as farming, hunting, fishing, or mining. It did not include services, securities, or communication. Nor did it include manufacturing, transport, retail sales, possession, use, or disposal of anything. It did not include anything that might have a "substantial effect" on commerce, or the operations of parties not directly related to the actual transfers of ownership and possession.
It includes 'sales'. Unless the Pizza restaurants are giving away their product, commerce includes them.
I find it very interesting that the person you're replying to used someone else's OPINION of what the commerce clause means. Not the actual clause from the constitution. Which is one simple sentence:
Article I, Section 8, Clause 3:[3]
[The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes
I see no exclusions. Which means all commerce.
I'm not surprised that the person you're replying to doesn't know what the word commerce means nor that a restaurant selling food is commerce.
Conservatives sure love to redefine the meaning of words to be whatever that conservative wants. Not it's actual meaning.
The commerce clause is for interstate transactions, not intrastate transactions.
