The courts disagree. See Heart of Atlanta Motel v US. You lose, yet again.There is no double standard. There are things you get to vote on, things the people you elect get to vote, and things neither one of you do. Gay marriage isn't up for a vote so it's in that last category. Clear now?
Yes, since my point was based on that. My point is you pick the one that yields the result you want. When you want vote, you just say the people voted, end of discussion. When the courts rule what you want, you just say the courts ruled, end of discussion. Nothing ever is crap, you wanted the other way, but it's the inapplicable process, so sorry, you lost.
I'll give you some examples for me. I am pro-choice, but the Constitution doesn't address abortion, so it's a State power. I oppose the death penalty, but again, the Constitution doesn't address it, so it's a State power. I don't think States should have the power to implement public accommodation laws, but nothing in the Constitution stops them. I actually care about the process, you pick the process that justifies the result you want. You still don't get it, do you? Be honest.
Since nothing in the Constitution grants the federal government the authority to tell hotels how to run their business, it doesn't have any such power.
The SC also decided that a farmer growing wheat on his own property for his own personal consumption was engaging in interstate commerce. The SC is obviously nothing more than a collection of political hacks.
The SC always decide on the side of expanded federal power. Most of the time it decides wrongly.
