Taking away the right (or punishing) of individuals (or groups) to boycott would seem unconstitutional at face value.
Where would the Civil Rights movement have been without boycotts?
I was once asked in an interview whether "The State of Israel had a right to exist". I replied that no state has a "right to exist" but that individuals have a right to self-determination. A human right that various international laws and conventions give both Israelis and Palestinians. Needless to say, I did not get that job.
BTW, there was a good documentary about this recently in DOC NYC: https://www.docnyc.net/film/boycott/
The author of the opinion piece (Alan Leveritt) is the subject (among others) of a good documentary BOYCOTT by Julia Bacha (not clear how to watch this). Panel discussion and Q&A for the doc is on YouTube here:
