You are right. Barry Goldwater warned everyone that the Civil Rights act of 1964 would lead to a great deal of abuse.
THESE LAWS, the 16th and the 17th Amendments are the largest FREEDOM KILLERS in our government! In my opinion!!
Everyone always leaves off the 14th amendment, which is in my opinion the most disastrous amendment under which we have suffered. Yes, the 16th and 17th are bad, but it is the incorporation doctrine of the 14th that is the root of much of this forced non-discrimination policy being shoved down people's throats.
True; very true.
