if a bunch of white firefighters study their azzes off for a lieutenant test, and they happen to get the highest scores fair and square...on a test that the city paid facial consultants to ensure it wasn’t biased
in favor of whites...and the honkeys are denied the promotion based solely on their whiteness...how can that possibly be constitutional?

White greviences are not in the constitution nor are white fire fighters mentioned so if your an originalist you cant use that argument |

No kidding. Take a civics class for gods sake. Or take the time to read the constitution, instead of letting Rachael Maddow tell you what it says. |

But anti discrimination laws are in the constitution. And the equal protection clause, means that everyone is free from discrimination, even white firefighters. This is news to you?.
You're having a rough time on this thread, you can't shred what I'm saying this time, you really can't. |

First, I am 100% in favor of gay marriage, and I was so when 96% of democrats still opposed it.
That being said, discrimination is what happens when you treat two things differently, when they are the same. For example, a white firefighter seeking a promotion and a black firefighter seeking a promotion, are similar, there's no logical basis to treat them differently (even though the liberals who run the city of New Haven, as well as the liberals on the SCOTUS, wanted them treated differently).
An argument can be made, that a heterosexual couple is meaningfully different than a homosexual couple, in that one can produce life (which we, you know, need in order to exist) and one cannot. Treating things differently when they are in fact different, could be construed as not being discriminatory.
I don't make that argument, but I see some merit in it. |

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more constitutionally ignorant post on the entire Internet today. |
