"I think laws of that type are unjust and wrong and probably unconstitutional, but I think they where well intentioned and I recognize that they have done some good." I am glad you think they have done some good. Other than the issue of human rights and the happiness of people who get a bit of an equal playing field (instead of having to jump hurdles while the other participants get an inside lane without barriers)--there is the point that it adds millions of dollars per year to the economy by allowing people to give more of their potential. As to your opinion that they do good but are wrong and/or unconstitutional...I am the wrong guy to argue the point with. Firstly, I disagree with you; secondly, society overall disagrees with you; and thirdly, the law disagrees with you. When your Supreme Court rules that these laws are unconstitutional then we can discuss it further. In the meantime, I cannot make a ruling in your favour as I am not on your Supreme Court. I can only tell you I disagree with you. I would not waste your time arguing Constitutionality with me (unless you are simply trying to fine-tune your arguments). If the issue is important to you, I would advise you to take the following laws before the High Court so that you may properly inform and instruct them: "1. Civil Rights Act 1964, Title VII amended by Equal Employment Act of 1972. In this act you cannot discriminate either the union or employer based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. 2. Equal Pay Act of 1963 Must pay equal pay for men and women do equal work 3. Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 as amended. Can't discriminate in hiring practices against people between ages of 40 - 70. 4. Rehabilitation Act of 1973 protects the handicapped from discrimination by employers performing federal contract work. In addition to these 4 statues there is executive order 11246 which comes from the President of US. This order forbids discrimination against minorities and in certain situations requires affirmative action to be taken to better insure employment opportunities for minorities working for contractors and subcontractors doing business with the federal government."
