This problem is not limited solely to race, however. Every interest group has, well, uhh , interests and want to see their group benefit, even at the expense of everyone else. The problem, Rauch says, is that high-paid lobbyists are in paid to deliver as much from governments as possible for their interest group clients. After receiving equal protection under the laws, their lobbyists have won affirmative action, racial gerrymandering, numerous tax breaks and subsidies and seen many minorities appointed to important positions. The protection of civil liberties is a thing of the past now.
Politicians seem to treat the Constitution as any old document when enacting legislation.
White supremacists, who I consider the very worst people living today, no longer have the right to free speech as any other group has. In this case it is the Fourth Amendment which is being ignored. It is much easier for politicians to attack Oliver Stone or Marilyn Manson and suppress their free speech rights than it is to tell the mother of a victim of a shooting that Stone s and Manson s free speech rights need to be protected. The Constitution has become the politics of your parents' generation. I certainly don t want white supremacists in my neighborhood, but am much more fearful of politicians disregarding the Bill of Rights.
