So he's in favor of presuming in favor of national security absent a clear abuse of federal power, doesn't want federal pre-emption in environmental matters and frowns on judicial second-guessing of police work. Put it that way, it appears he does follow a strict reading of the Constitution. It would be helpful to have him explain his understanding of judicial philosophy and the role of the courts in his appearance before the Senate next month. Roberts may be a good pick from what from you've stated but I do think its not unreasonable to hear him outline how he thinks judges should approach their role on the bench. We're after all talking about a lifetime appointment here. That being said I do look forward to the hearings next month. Then we'll know for sure more of what we hope the guy will be like once he's elevated to the Supreme Court.

Actually, the 14th Amendment DOES allow a private employer to discriminate against blacks. The reason such discrimination is now illegal isn't due to the 14th Amendment, it's because of the civil rights laws passed in the 1960's by Congress, using the commerce clause as justification.

Logically and rationally, there is no such creature (let alone a "class") called a gay or a lesbian. So what are they? Pretend?
you've allowed your emotions to override your good sense.
As opposed, of course, to you, who has a real handle on the "real" facts, huh? That kind of remark is nothing except BOILERPLATE worthy of any liberal I know.
Some of us are concerned that Roberts may ride his emotions to a similarly foolish socially liberal, family destroying destination.
As I said above, it it's not this, it will just be something else.

It is not his right not to rent me because I want to indulge in the sins of fornication, and I guarantee for you if this ever happen, I will sue and I will win. So if gays want to indulge in their carnal and sinful acts of homosexual sex as I do in my sinful fornication of straight sex then they can sue a landlord who disrciminates against them, and I guarantee they will win, as they should.

And its important for the candidate to enlighten the country too. If it angers the Democrats so be it. On the all-important question of the courts role in our society, Roberts can't be all things to all people. The Democrats can't get the answer they're looking for, which is that a judge should make up the law to get the results they're looking for. We don't need those kind of judges on the bench and those we have now have wreaked havoc on our republican form of government.

What they could not do is claim that their homohood earned them any extra protection. Where exactly did I say any different?
And the people of the state played right into their hands by voting in a law specifically classifying "them" as a group, or am I wrong about that, too?

There are men and there are women. Only two sexes, Howlin. That's a biological fact. You may count them up yourself. One, two. No more.
Everything beyond or in addition to that is a state of mind, a will o' the wisp.
To: Howlin
If they struck it down tomorrow, abortion will still be legal in 50 states. And the day after that 50 bills outlawing it would be introduced in 50 state legislatures. The only question is how many would get voted on and pass.
To: jveritas
Does the 14th amendment allow a White employer to discriminate against hiring a Black????
What are you talking about? The 14th Amendment doesn't "allow" anything - - it only tells the states what they cannot do. (Did you attend government schools?)
To: Lancey Howard
It's all about what states cannot do.And did not the citizens of Colorado pass a STATE LAW that would have allowed employers and landlords to discriminate against gays simply because they were gay?
What am I missing here?

Will you rent your house to great fornicator of straight sex like myself? I am committing a great sin and I know that I am not acting according to the teachings of the Bible.
My advise for you that if you know that someone is homosexual and you do not rent him because of that is to be ready in case he sues you because you are guaranteed to lose.

Membership in such a putative group can not earn special rights. The Supremes made the ludicrous mistake of looking at a real thing then ruling on its afterimage.

The 14th Amendment doesn't apply to private individuals.
Whether or not you would win if you sued a landlord for the various sexual issues you raise would depend on the laws in your state or locality. Given the fact that we increasingly disrespect propery rights, you might indeed win in some areas. But it wouldn't be due to the Constitution. There is no constitutional right to commit fornication on someone else's property, for example.

It was a law designed to discriminate against gays as a CLASS of people. The law discriminates against thieves and murders as well, and of course it should.
To: GreatOne
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough; we should ALL be subject to the same laws. I just have never believed in or like laws, such as this one or for instance the Hate Crime laws, that target, or "address" one particular group/class/segment, whatever you want to call it.

OK let us make it more straightforward for you. Does the Constitution allow a landlord not to rent to people based on their race or religion? The answer is absolutely not, the same goes for sexual leanings.
