Hotels are a regulated industry. This is my home and as such, I deserve to make decisions that I believe to be morally correct. If I google the guy who wants to rent my room and he has Facebook postings criticizing the US and cheering on ISIS then I don't want him in my home. I have the right to extend my personal value system in this way. Big government should not be able to shove people into my home against my will. This is clearly a 4th amendment issue. Don't like it? Call the Best Western. We also see exemptions to non-discrimintary laws for churchs, mosques, temples, etc. Its clear that society is not a "one size fits all" thing and exemptions are morally and socially justifiable. The same way I can't get funding and entitlements like affirmative action and other race-based policies, that are 100% racist and accepted by liberals as normal.

Thank you 4th Amendment. If this kind of thing, for some ridiculous reason, reaches any court, it should be thrown out by the 4th. However, in today's society, nothing would surprise me anymore.

It's almost like Silicon Valley's attempts to "disrupt" regulated industries by replacing them with its own alternatives that don't follow the regulations is a bad thing...

  We live in a society of laws. If Congress and SCOTUS want to get rid of the 4th amendment, then certainly things will change.

    Please share with us your legal analysis that the Congress and SCOTUS are violating the 4th Amendment by passing and upholding anti-discrimination laws.

> government should not be able to shove people into my home It's your hotel, not your home. No one is shoving people into you home; they are saying you can't invite the public and then keep certain protected classes out. Don't like it? Don't run a public hotel from your residence. > he has Facebook postings criticizing the US and cheering on ISIS then I don't want him in my home Neither of these are a legally protected class under US discrimination law.

Except you are renting your home out. It's a business and you should absolutely be subject to the laws regarding non-discrimination that apply to a business. If you don't like it then quit acting like a sketchy pseudo-hotel.

Here is the text of the Fourth Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." You believe that your property is being searched and/or seized when the government regulates your cottage business?
