What Moose is attempting to do is the moral equivalent of a small-town southern mayor trying to pass an ordinance forcing blacks to sit in the back of the bus (as was once the case in many southern areas).

So where is the federal government on this?

If a small-town "Boss Hogg" had tried the latter, federal agents would be swarming in his town, and Bush himself would probably make a statement on it. Bottom line: the law wouldn't pass, Boss Hogg would be out of job, and likely in a federal prison (I believe it is a federal crime to conspire to deprive anyone of their Constitutional Rights

So why is the federal government silent here?

The reason is that the our federal officials, of both parties, do not believe in individual Rights nor the Bill of Rights. They simply don't recognize these Rights, just as England did not in the mid-to-late 1700s.

Instead, each complaint of violations of our Rights is weighed by political gurus. Those few issues that will bring good press and high poll numbers are addressed. Those that won't bring good press are simply ignored.
