"The only proper and constitutional way to "expand" and "establish" new rights is through the constitutionally established procedure of amendments. Not the courts. The Constitution does not empower the courts to do that."
The courts absolutely interpret whether laws violate the 14th and the Equal Protection Clause. Thus, this clause is what has been used to dismantle discriminatory practices---towards women, those with disabilities, minorities, and transgendered people.
And the Wal Mart line was about segregated public places including grocery stores in Arkansas even though it wasn't literally called Wal Mart. Check the Ark state history:
"On April 12, ten students sat-in at the McClellan, Woolworth, Blass, and Pfeifer Brothers stores on Main Street. The next day, April 13, a group of six students held another sit-in at Pfeifers’ department store. In a separate incident, two students—Thomas B. Robinson (twenty) and Frank James Lupper (nineteen)—requested service at Blass’s lunch counter. When they refused to leave the premises, they were charged under Act 226 of 1959 but also, fatefully, under Arkansas Act 14, which allowed for the arrest of any person refusing to leave a business’s premises when so requested by the manager or owner thereof."
