CEO Publishes State-By-State Survey of Statutes |
|
|
|
Use of racial or ethnic classifications and preferences in state statutes recorded by Federalist Society and posted here
The Federalist Society has recently completed a state-by-state survey of statutes that use racial or ethnic classifications and preferences. CEO posts it here, in the hopes that this will prompt state legislators to change these laws or, if they don't, that it will prompt legal challenges to them. It is outrageous that, in the year 2004, so many such laws are on the books, despite their unpopularity with the vast majority of Americans, and despite repeated Supreme Court rulings that racial and ethnic classifications are presumptively unconstitutional. The Federalist Society has finished preparing a paper that will summarize and analyze this survey. Working on it are Shawn Nevill and Roger Clegg, general counsel of CEO, who is also chairman of the Federalist Society's Civil Rights Practice Group, which initiated the survey.

Rein in Affirmative Action |
|
|
|
|
After Republicans released a Congressional Research Service study citing more than 160 federally mandated minority and female preference programs, President Clinton said that he would initiate a review of all affirmative action. The most pro-quota president in our history declared: "It is time to look at all these programs and ask ourselves: Do they work? Are they fair? Do they achieve the desired objectives? The president could have looked at the 19 separate regulations that benefit "economically disadvantaged" bankers. Most people probably wouldn't consider anyone rich enough to own a bank qualified for preference under a program ostensibly aimed at disadvantaged persons. |
