You understand that this doesn't apply to all businesses, right? Not to mention that the current court would be hesitant to apply the commerce clause so loosely.
The opinion essentially stated hat Ollie's diner had zero effect in interstate commerce. It was the fact that allowing discrimination to happen everywhere effected interstate commerce negatively.

No, the court said that discrimination in restaurants has a negative impact on interstate commerce.
Again, even if, as you say, discrimination by ANY business can be regulated by the federal government, which federal law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation. There may be one out there, but I'm not aware of it. And if there is one out there, doesn't that have to be balanced against the business owner's right to freely exercise his religious beliefs?
