"Does the EEOC allow this?"

I appreciate your post txrefugee.

Note that, just as the states have never expressly constitutionally granted the feds the specific power to regulate environmental issues, neither have the states granted the feds the specific power to regulate employment issues.

From previous post …

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), FDR’s activist justices wrongly ignored that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified the following limits of those power. So while the EEOC is arguably a good idea, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutional delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce, the EEOC unconstitutionally interfering with how companies manage their employee’s imo.

”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

So patriots need to support Trump in working with the states to decide if the states want to police things like employer / employee relationships and environmental issues themselves, or amend the Constitution to expressly grant the feds the specific powers to do so.

"The States should be left to do whatever acts they can do as well as the General Government." --Thomas Jefferson to John Harvie, 1790.
