And this vote against government-sanctioned racism was only passed 5-4. Should have been 9-0. I would like the “dissenters” to explain their support of racism.

“This decision will change the landscape of civil rights law,”

No it won't. It simply invalidates the wrognful interpretation of a law whose text (and original intent) hasn't changed in over 40 years. That wrongful interpretation didn't exist when the law was made, but gradually evolved by a process of self-deception and intellectual dishonesty among "liberals," socialists and communists (most of whom won't admit that's what they are--not even to themselves--but will be unable to explain the fatal flaws of socialism, nor cite any substantative differences between socialism and what they believe.)

“This decision will change the landscape of civil rights law,” said Professor Foster, who teaches anti-discrimination Law and has been involved in litigating cases under the Civil Rights Act.

Yes maybe it will start protecting EVERYONE's civil rights instead of a few special "groups".

Yep. Hopefully for the better.
