“On Friday, President Biden once again urged Congress to pass the Equality Act, which has hit a roadblock in the Senate. The landmark legislation would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act and extend federal protections to LGBTQ+ Americans. Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Rep. Marie Newman (D-IL) joined NBC’s Joshua Johnson to discuss where the bill stands and their own personal connections to Pride.”

Those who support this legislation becoming the rule of law without our federal Constitution granting legislative power over the subject matter in question, certainly do not take “pride” in supporting and defending our federal constitution. If they did, they would not approve the “Equality Act” being forced upon the people without their consent, and would instead be supporting a constitutional amendment granting power to Congress to adopt “appropriate legislation” over the subject matter in question as other amendments have done, including the 19th Amendment, which grants power to Congress to adopt “appropriate legislation” regarding “sex”, as is limited by the first clause of the amendment, i.e.,

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

It is absolutely disappointing how our Fifth Column media and their Yellow Journalists fawn over adopting of the “Equality Act” and ignore Congress, nowhere in our federal Constitution, has been delegated power to enact and enforce the legislation found in the “Equality Act”.

Let us all remember that our system of government reserves to the States and people therein, all powers not delegated to the United States by our federal Constitution. In essence, our founders created a big tent system, intentionally protecting the right of the people within the various states to regulate “. . . all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.” And under this big-tent system, Massachusetts was the first state to legalize same sex marriage, confirming the system works, even for those wanting same sex marriages.

In addition, our founders also provided Article V, an amendment process in our federal Constitution to accommodate necessary change at the federal level, but only by consent of the governed as laid out in Article V.

But instead of embracing our constitutional system, those backing the “Equality Act” including members of Congress who took an oath to support and defend our written Constitution, are quite comfortable to allow, and even encourage, their will being imposed upon the entire population of the United States by enforcing legislation [the Equality Act] encompassing a subject matter [sex] not granted by the people to Congress in compliance with Article V, with the exception being the 19th Amendment which is limited to the right to vote.

I think any reference to people, regardless of descriptive adjectives, should be amended to "human citizens of the US and US territories." Any other special mention or advantage based on those irrelevant adjectives should be stricken from law.

[task0778]

First of all, the Equality Act is not going to pass in the Senate, so we're arguing about something that ain't going to happen. Not unless the democrats abolish the filibuster, and don't think they won't the second they have enough votes and a democrat in the WH. And maybe not even then, I'm not sure every democrat would support this Act anyway.

As I understand it, this law totally denies anyone the "conscientious or religious exception" as a claim for an exemption under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and threatens constitutional freedoms by eliminating conscience protections from the Civil Rights Act. Religious liberty would be gone. So, it might unconstitutional.

It would also fulfill the abortion industry’s long-fought desire to establish abortion as “health care” officially and legally by outlawing “pregnancy discrimination.” It requires that access to “treatment” for pregnancy must not be any different from access to any other kind of health care treatment for any other “physical condition.” Which opens the door to taxpayer funding for elective abortions, which the vast majority of Americans oppose, regardless of political affiliation. The bill does not contain any conscience protections for those with moral or religious objections to paying for or performing abortions. It also takes away judicial relief by blocking claims based on the RFRA.
