A defendant can remove a case from the state court system only if the case is one in which the federal court has “original jurisdiction.” The federal court has original jurisdiction if a federal question is involved, including when treaties or a Constitutional issue is involved such as with civil rights matters.
Wow. I some how made it all the way through High School without getting naked after gym class. In fact, NONE of the guys in the locker room stripped down past their skivvies. Weird.
I didn't. Swim team. Changed 5 days a week in front of guys. Now I could claim I am a chick and hang out with the ladies. Damn, I really missed that one. "Yes Mr. Principle. I identify as a female with a lesbian sexual preference. Too tough, law states I can go watch the girls team strip!"
But let me ask a oft-repeated statement, and I will bold it:
"How many of the people currently in an uproar and SUPPORTING Paypal's and other peoples silly excuse to not do business in these states went out of their way to boycott or call for companies to remove themselves from New York after Governor Cuomo said that gun owners and conservatives aren't welcome in the state?"
You're not comprehending the effect of the federal statute that gives defendant's the right of removal. If you disagree, take it up with the US DOJ.
That was a direct quote from the NJ link YOU provided. If you feel the information is incorrect, it was probably a poor choice to use as your example, and you should take it up with the state of NJ.

The way you're interpreting it is incorrect. Read my latest post. It provides examples of local/state claims filed in state courts that were removed to federal court:
Former SWIC employee (SWIC is a community college - this was a local and state issue, removed to federal court)...
From the link:
...The defendant argues that removal is proper because the federal court has jurisdiction over the plaintiff’s claims of the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993.
Are those pieces of legislation bolded State or Federal?

See the world Illinois in there?
And, yes, the lawsuit was REMOVED to federal court.
The NC law is stupid in my opinion, but the hypocritical response from corporations is even worse.
NC enacts a dumb law = horrible backwater! No business there until they bow to tolerance and LGBTQ demands!
Countries who have truly horrible human rights abuses? Who practically enslave women and execute gay people? Oh, that's just a cultural-religious thing...shouldn't judge them. Business as usual.
Or like with the vetoed GA religious liberty bill. Corporations and businesses used their freedom to not do business with an entity/people with whom they disagree...in order to prevent businesses from doing just that.
