"Government Coercion of Righteous behavior is unsurpassed ugliness."
An elegant phrase turning natural law into a legally recognized reality, former Supreme Court nominee nailed it when he denounced the United States Supreme Court's role in micromanaging societies with broad interpretations and applications of constitutional law.
The Supreme Court did very little good in their ruling on "Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas" Rather than changing the hearts and minds of segregated peoples, they instituted white flight, which left minority communities still struggling with power schools and inadequate resources. Only the grass-roots Civil Rights Movement effected real change and greater dignity for minority groups in the South and across the country.
We cannot legislate morality; the government cannot force people to have an open mind and a tender heart toward other people. Private corporations which choose to discriminate may do so, but at their own peril, with no tax-payer subsidies from the government. The free market has always done a more efficient and upright job punishing racism than the government ever could.
The last thing that anyone in the United States need is more puritanical, Cromwellian moralism at the barrel of a gun, or a lawsuit, all of which impinges on the rights and liberties of the citizenry.
