    It sure sounds like she has every right to keep her hotdog stand open.
Hopefully, her rights will be upheld.  Hopefully, all of our rights are
being upheld all of the time.  
The sad case is that we all lose rights every year when the government
inforces more and more laws to "protect" us, the citizens.  Think about it...

- Is striking down the Miranda ruling upholding rights?  (obviously not
  the rights of those who were illegally searched)
- Is raising the drinking age upholding rights?  (after all, if you're 18,
  you can die for this country in uniform.)
- Is restricting scientific information exchange with the non-US scientific
  community upholding rights?  (clearly not)
- Is restricting travel to non-approved countries upholding rights?  (no)
- Is requiring seat belts to be worn upholding rights?  (not wearing seat
  belts endangers no one but yourself.)

Ugh, this is depressing.
