[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]In the strict almost Jeffersonian sense of the Constitution, it was most definately an invasion of States rights. But of course, it was needed.[/i] See, that's called facism. "Do what's necessary, and screw the law." [i]The states, and I mean Alabama, etc wouldn't have done diddly squat to prevent discrimination against blacks.[/i] No government has any right to prevent privite discrimination against anyone. We've been over this. [i]Of course, today it would have been struck down and minorities would continue to have been discriminated in American restaurants and hotels. [/i] You think that that law stopped discrimination by private institutions? Barry Goldwater said at the time, "You can't legistlate morality." Now liberals have twisted that phrase, as they're wont to do, but what he originally meant was that no matter how many laws you pass, you're not going to change peoples minds and hearts. Discrimination stopped when people decided it was wrong, and not a second before. Under any circumstances, right or wrong, useful or no, the government STILL didn't have the authority to do what it did, and it was STILL violating the rights of property owners. Nothing changes those simple facts. [i]However, it must be understood that too weak of one is just as dangerous.[/i] We got along quite well under the US constitution, before the New Deal came along. The only problem was mismanagement by the federal reserve, which caused the depression of the thirties. Bad laws will do that under any system. Seems like the optimum arrangement to me. [i]Both are working towards what they feel is best for the country.[/i] You can never be sure of that. Power corrupts, remember? [/QB][/QUOTE]
