- tsimionescu 4y agoI believe GP's point was that this is just the current law, not some profound legal principle like property rights. That is, the law already deeply limits property rights for businesses open to the public in various ways (e.g. by forcing them to abide by anti-discrimination laws, which private property owners have no obligation to). Making a new law that would limit public businesses' ability to ban people based on legal disputes would not constitute a difference in kind (only in degree) compared to current laws.
