Re: "The private sector cannot violate the Constitution."

Really? Then when my employer says I can't discuss certain subjects on the job or practice my religion, my Constitutional rights are being violated? What about my right to assemble in your living room? The government doesn't prevent it but I suspect you might. Are you violating my Constitutional rights? Can I posses a firearm in your house? Why not if I have a Constitutional right? The Government says I can so who are you to violate my rights?

Private sector cannot violate privacy --

Sorry Gene, you're wrong. Public regulation cannot limit private action or seize property without justification except in specified extreme circumstances. That was pretty much settled in the overthrough of the 1871 Civil Rights Act and in Munn v. Illinois. Only State privacy protection really works against private offenders, and even there the 14th Amendment rules.
