May be someone should tell the SCOTUS that the CRA is in violation of the Constitution. He can try and justify his words all day long. I doubt to many will buy what he is selling.
I cant wait for all the Ron Paul questions. He's going to have learn to dance. Good times.
Ms Tree said:You are right in that Paul has said he does support the CRA ... for the most part. He just disagrees with the part of the CRA that says Woolworth does not have the right to deny service to King.
Hard to talk your way out of that one.
Who grants those rights?SparrowHawk said:We already had the rights to do those things.
It was against the law for a minority to eat at the lunch counter. It's against the law in a few states to have a same sex marriage. It's against the law to smoke pot in all but 3 states. They should have the right to do so but there are laws on the books that deny your "naturalSparrowHawk said:Thus my comment regarding Private Property rights. Should a government be allowed to to tell a private company or individual who they can or can not do business with? Elements of the CRA have been used to ban Cigar Bars and regulate other businesses as well. None of which were the intent of the CRA
IMO, DR. King's Woolworth Lunch counter demonstration did a great deal of good without one speck of rules, regulations or laws. Those black men already had rights. By their actions they claimed what they already had. The passing of the CRA only hastened what IMO was inevitable. Much like the current situation with smoking pot and gay marriage. We already had the rights to do those things. It's just now we have enough people standing up for their rights that the laws are changing.
With the passing of the CRA we as a nation gained more than we lost. This IMO renders the case closed. We made the trade off of personal property rights for a more equal and civil society.
