I have no problem with the GOVERNMENT not being allowed to discriminate at all (that includes sexual orientation and the military). I have no problem with the government not doing ANY business with any company that DOES discriminate, either.
That would be fair, and Constitutional, IMO. The point of the Constitution is to guarantee the rights of the people vs the STATE, not in their private interactions.
Does this mean there would be some dumb-ass racist businesses? Yeah, it does. Freedom sucks sometimes. But if the government was forbidden to deal with such establishments, that alone would make more than 99% of businesses comply anyway.
Wanting the EEOC style status quo is in effect wanting closeted discrimination, anyway. Employers hire people subjectively. You interview someone, and how you "like" them, or the vibe you get is often the critical factor in hiring them vs the many other equally qualified applicants. If that "feel" thing for a given employer happened to include race, etc...
Better to just do the Constitutional thing, and not mess with private contractual employment agreements, and stick to setting a standard for employers to follow if they ever wish to see a government CC or PO in their shop (note this would include cops stopping for coffee, people gasing up gov vehicles, virtually every business would not want to be on the wrong side of this, but it would instead be a CHOICE).
