Privileges based on race, gender and disability now permeate American society.
These privileges are unambiguously unconstitutional, but preferences for preferred groups are deemed by the ruling elites to be more important than the U.S. Constitution. In overthrowing equality before the law, the civil-rights movement has caused a revolution that means the end of law and liberty as we have known them. The political right whistles in the dark and pretends that the tide against preferences has been turned. It is true that there have been some limited victories against quotas. These victories show vestiges of a constitutional order that possibly could be revived.
