Democrat presidents, governors, and other officeholders have carefully tailored government policies to give advantages to their friends, allies, and constituency groups. This systematic discrimination works against equality before the law. Trouble is, only eight percent of California s population is black. The federal government would be demanding that California recompense all those whites and other minorities denied jobs and promotions because of skin color and that only non-blacks be favored until the share of black state job holders, managers, and executives fell to about eight percent. Do not hold your breath waiting for any such action by the Clinton Gore Justice Department.
Feminist causes are more politically correct now than helping the poor and minorities.
The men accused have never been tried, much less convicted, for this alleged crime in a court of law. Congress, the court held, had exceeded its authority claimed under the Interstate Commerce Clause and the equal-protection guarantee of Fourteenth Amendment, two provisions Congress has long invoked to assert its power to legislate anything and everything. With these remains the doctrine, in practice, that a crime of violence against a woman is somehow more serious and merits more punishment than the identical crime against a man. Some animals are more equal than others. All such laws and policies give government a license to discriminate, to treat us unequally, for political purposes.
