White men 'clearly' targeted as Virginia Dems’ race-sex bill hits Spanberger’s desk: experts
New Virginia procurement bill mandates agencies increase minority and women-owned business contracts to 42%. Republicans call it unconstitutional.
By Charles Creitz Fox News
A Virginia state bill passed along party lines directing state agencies to consider the race and sex of small businesses’ ownership when distributing discretionary funds for procurement and contracts is likely to face major legal headwinds, experts told Fox News Digital.
The Small SWAM Business Procurement Enhancement Program Act "provides that executive branch agencies and covered institutions are required to increase their small SWAM business utilization rates by three percent per year until reaching the 42-percent target or, if unable to do so, to implement achievable goals to increase their utilization rates," according to its text.
SWAM stands for small, women-owned and minority-owned.
Comment:
The constitution says that people shall not be treated differently.
The Equal Protection Clause is located at the end of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868: "nor shall any State ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".
The Virgina Democrats are against equal protection and civil rights.
