Quote:And yet again you miss the point. IF the original law (in this case the 14th Amendment had been followed no additional legislation would have been needed. SO, instead of passing new legislation why not enforce the original laws?


To go to the next step once you do pass these additional laws you have created a special class of individuals. To use your own words "I wouldn't think getting rid of employees good or bad is as difficult as you make it sound
" Go share a beer with a member of any HR employee of any business anywhere in this country. Ask them how difficult it is to let go of a protected class of people compared to a single white male of equal incompetence.

I guess you're right if you want to call black people, Muslims, handicapped people and the elderly a special class as they are all specifically covered under the the existing blanket term. I worked in the HR nerve center of one of the larger employers in town and have been in the industry over a decade. All you need to fire anyone is documented proof of poor performance. Oftentimes not even that as Florida is a right to work state and employees sign a document stating their awareness of this when they are onboarded.


Did black people want special rights during the Civil Rights Movement? No. They just wanted the same rights that the Constitutional Amendments said they deserved. So when they fought.. they won. And that is why slowly, but without question, LGBT Americans are seeing their fight for equality being won one city or state at a time. If the original law (14th Amendment) was not being followed, so a better one was needed to replace it.
