The court and statute in question specifically mention that censorship can happen for a variety of legal reason.
This ruling only denies the right to censor based on viewpoint, something which I believe Starbucks is also bound by. You can throw a customer out for being obnoxious and threatening. But probably not for sitting at a table and calmly discussing the pros and cons of various abortion laws, sharing opinions Starbucks disagree with.

In California this might be true, I believe political affiliation is a protected class in California. But political affiliation is not a protected class federally, so it should generally be legal for corporations to discriminate against people on the basis of political belief, as long as they don't do that in a way that could be construed as discriminating on the basis of something that is a protected class, like race.
