A real boycott would target the ADVERTISERS on these stations - if they get worried, they will pressure the stations and possibly force them not to run the ads. But of course god forbid people will forego convenience to make a statement and give up their "symbol" products these advertisers sell. How many people really boycotted Exxon-Mobil a couple of years ago? I lost count of the people who told me "but it's the closest gas station and I would be late for _______ if I had to drive somewhere else." In many cases making a u-turn was having to "drive somewhere else."
Lawsuits are fine but does anyone really believe a judge in this country would issue a restraining order against someone exercising their 1st Amendment rights? Most of the federal judges in this country, particularly in the appellate system, are Republicans who swore to uphold the agenda when they were appointed.
