re: #239 SixDegrees

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.

On the other hand it provides a mechanism for the feds to step in and prosecute in cases where the locals refuse to do so, much like civil rights violations.
