Well, I see there appears to be no interest in actually sticking to the legal aspects of the opinion, and determining under what wording in our federal Constitution is Congress authorized to make it “unlawful . . . for an employer to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual . . . because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.”?
Under the Syllabus, Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, we find:
“Title VII makes it “unlawful . . . for an employer to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual . . . because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.”
I actually thought it would be interesting, with all the brilliant minds in this forum, to review the legal aspects of the case [majority opinion and dissenting opinions] and try to ferret out the legitimacy of the Court’s holding.
In such cases, [where the people’s activities, within the States are limited by our federal government] I was taught to begin with our federal Constitution, and establish the delegation of power under which Congress has acted to create an unlawful activity. Keep in mind our federal Constitution created the Congress of the United States, but also delegated defined and limited powers under which Congress may lawfully act.
So, under what wording in our federal Constitution is Congress authorized to make it “unlawful . . . for an employer to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual . . . because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.”?
