Last Friday, a new regulation was proposed by the Obama administration that will make it harder and more expensive for employers to hire and promote white males, enrich class action lawyers, and do absolutely nothing to accomplish the ostensible goal of raising the pay of women relative to men.

My worry is that getting Obama out of office will not seal up the rat holes he is drilling into the national fabric.
It seems like once the dam is breached the next president, regardless of party, thinks precedents have been set.
In Europe the “hate Crime” laws are pulling the world over the edge. 0bama is trying to do the same here. I propose equality in hate crimes. The communist mass murders would have been halted if the citizens were informed and armed. About 150 million conservative type people ave been murdered by leftist governments in the last 100 years. Why don’t we have equality there????? Zerp0???
New Obama regulation: . . .
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Patriots, quit picking on Obama !
I would not be surprised if post-FDR era, institutionally indoctrinated lawyers would not be able to argue the following points against lawless Obamas proposed regulation for lawyers.
First note that the only sex-related protection that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect, explicitly giving Congress the legislative power to strengthen, is voting rights as evidenced by the 19th Amendment. So the feds have no constitutional authority to address sex-related INTRAstate issues outside the scope of voting rights imo.
Next, although Congress has the constitutional authority to stop lawless Obama and the executive branch EEOC dead in their tracks, corrupt Congress is stubbornly refusing to do so. This is because Congress is likely letting last-term Obama steal legislative powers so that Obama and the constitutionally undefined EEOC can do the unconstitutional legislative work that the RINO-controlled Congress probably wants to do.
The benefit for Congress of letting the executive branch steal legislative powers to do its dirty work, actually stolen 10th Amendment-protected state legislative powers in this case, is so that lawmakers can keep their voting records clean in order to fool low-information patriots into reelecting them imo.
Also note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate commerce which reasonably includes employer choice of legal services. This is evidenced by the following excerpt.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” - Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutionally limited powers to protect the states and their citizens from unconstitutional federal government overreach.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Does the Left wing political class really not see where radical equality in the workplace is going to end?
Competent, high work ethic, white males will increasingly choose self-employment, and, with the help of advanced software, machines, robotics, and outside contractors, they will do everything possible to directly employ no one!
The article misses the worst group harmed by the regulation. Entry level FEMALES. If a company hires all males for the low level positions then they drive the male average down. Hire experienced females for higher positions and criticize other companies for a their sexist averages while doing this.

Who is John Galt?
I think the Left kind of wants that outcome. They think that everyone left out can be hired (or be given benefits) directly by the government and must then vote as they are told - if they want to keep the cash flowing.
Private employment is a major thorn in their plans to bring about Utopia.
Re: “Private employment is a major thorn in their plans to bring about Utopia.”
That’s a good point, Jeeves.
Hopefully, unemployed voters will choose direct benefits instead of fake government jobs.

I think the next 10-20 years will be a very rough economic transition.
Currently, our software and labor saving machines are “replacing” human workers at a fairly modest pace.
From a tax and productivity perspective that makes it very difficult to significantly increase government benefits, especially with the huge overhang of Baby Boomer Social Security and Medicare.
But, when software and machines start, generally, to produce four, five, six times as much as a human worker, I think that might generate enough tax revenue to keep a large segment of the working age population comfortably subsidized and idle.
Sadly, President Bush the Latter blew a hole in federalism and sank the Republic with his prosecution of Raich v Gonzales. Gibbons v Ogden is a dead letter. What you are soaking in is a nation-state.
Nobody knows the federal governments constitutionally limited powers anymore. But that is a fixable problem.
I don’t know if it can be fixed
