“States’ rights” are generally considered to be code words for racism these days.

…[Measures that] deform our civil justice system must be met with with effective reforms that would actually increase access to justice. This includes improvements like… cutting out loopholes in the court system like misuse of the preemption doctrine…”

I’ve also previously said that:

“federal civil rights legislation helped strengthen American civil rights by outlawing discriminatory practices that many states’ laws would have allowed. Today, however, preemption is increasingly used as a weapon to undermine state laws that protect public health and safety, and to eliminate provisions allowing persons to take violators of these laws to court.”

I invite readers to actually read my post. I cite to King’s reflections on how the profit motive is taking over the rights of human beings. I also look forward to seeing adequate attention given to MLK and his philosophies on this website, as promised by Ted.

The 54 decision found that the disparity between the races in educational outcome was found to be caused by the segregation of schools,and a policy of integration was adopted by this country. But integration is not stable. We can not have mixing of races without some intervention. One would expect that anyone with the credentials of John Roberts would understand the dynamics of integration.

In the early 50’s, Little Rock High School was a segregated, high achieving school. Blacks demanded access to the school under “me too”. Blacks had success as a legal matter, but not as a practical matter, as the school regressed after integration.

He rejected the dictatorship of technology, which, he said, diminishes people because it eliminates their sense of participation.

The Internet is clear evidence of this.

I don’t think King ever fought for uniform treatment. He fought for justice. If the uniform treatment was unjust, he would not have been in favor of it.
