re: #228 Conservative Moonbat

Here we go

It’s hard to see this as “radical social policy” in any light. I don’t care much for the legislation myself, because the crimes it covers are already crimes, and the pressure for every self-identifying group to carve out it’s own “special” protections seems to me to lead inevitably toward a Federally-controlled criminal system, with state powers usurped.

But “radical social policy”? I don’t think so. This is a mouthful of buzzwords intended to deflect and inflame, not to stake out a rational, thoughtful position. Is there something wrong with arguing that such legislation inevitably weakens Federalism and moves control of the legal system farther away from the citizens affected by it?
