What specifically am I ignoring in the USC with this reparations plan? You lost me - maybe I called in sick that day in law school.

There is nothing at all unconstitutional about this plan.

There is nothing scary about it, 'dude.'

In order for something like this to become law, there must be some constitutional basis for the legality of the plan - where is it? That is my question.

Well, I don't think you can honestly say that it would be obviously constitutional. For openers, I think there would be some obvious constitutional problems with imposing a tax only on descendants of slaves. Don't you?

And, if a tax based upon that distinction between descendants and non-descendants invites some level of scrutiny, isn't that another way of saying that it raises some constitutional questions?
