There were already rights for all Americans. The Civil Rights Acts brought the federal government into absolutely everything and reduced the states to zeros on the map. All these insane court decisions punishing people for not wanting to be involved in homo weddings are the same line of reasoning.
If I do not want to sell my house to you because I don’t like the shape of your head then that is my business not that of federal bureaucrats.
A recent documentary stated that boxing great Joe Louis was “not free” because he could not buy a house in a snotty New Jersey lake-front suburb. Louis moved around everywhere, made buckets of money, was wildly popular by fight fans of all races, and yet this documentary stated he was not free. The fact is that snotty suburb had the right of freedom of association and if their homeowners did not want “The Brown Bomber” in their neighborhood they were free not to take his money.
Thanks for putting flesh on it.
It’s hard now to remember the country as it was, when we didn’t have to worry about offending a 250 lb male with lipstick and a skirt headed into the Women’s room by telling him to get out. Or being flat on your back in an ER facing a minority doc who probably got into med school with a 2.4 GPA in Gender Studies.
All of these evils came from the “noble” ‘64 Act.
EO 11246 could be rescinded in a 2nd Trump term. He’s got the stones to do it. The Bush family was all for it, so they were part of the problem. Reagan couldn’t, it was too early to see the eventual damage, and he tried to fix the SCOTUS instead (yessirree, Sandy Baby O’Connor was a real win...).
And we would not have Jihadists in our government since there would be no pressure to hire them. They could be completely rejected as the enemies they are.
Imgaine a world without Communist coercion.
