It seems to have been so ever since the American people wisely rejected the Equal Rights Amendment.
I have demonstrated ELSEWHERE that the word “sex” added to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, although added with the best intentions as stated by Representative Howard Smith ___ who initiated the amendment to add the word “sex” to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, to protect “women” as distinguished from men, and ensure that “women” would have a remedy to fight wage discrimination in the workplace ___ was a usurpation of legislative power over a subject matter [sex] not delegated to Congress by our written Constitution.
As a matter of fact, the authority to exercise such legislative power was specifically, and wisely rejected by the American people when the Equal Rights Amendment failed to gather the required support as outlined in our Constitution’s amendment process, [see Article V]. And, let us not forget why it was rejected.
Among such reasons was that the Equal Rights Amendment would elevate sexual deviant conduct, behavior, and proclivities to a federally protected class level, and legally erase the very real differences between males and females. Something which the American people wisely rejected.
Of course, since the unconstitutional adoption of the word “sex” into the 1964 Civil Rights Act, we have actually witnessed how, inch by inch, our federal Government has expanded its reach and power over the internal affairs of the States and people therein, and now includes the perverted and Orwellian Supreme Court Opinion in the Bostock v. Clayton County case. which our big media has rejoiced over.
But hey, we were amply warned of such tyrannical expansions . . . :
“When a free people submit to oppressive acts, passed in violation of their constitution, for a single day, they have thrown down the palladium of their liberty. Submit to despotism for an hour and you concede the principle. John Adams said, in 1775, Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud. It is the only thing a people determined to be free can do. Republics have often failed, and have been succeeded by the most revolting despotisms; and always it was the voice of timidity, cowardice, or false leaders counseling submission, that led to the final downfall of freedom. It was the cowardice and treachery of the Senate of Rome that allowed the usurper to gain power, inch by inch, to overthrow the Republic. The history of the downfall of Republics is the same in all ages. The first inch that is yielded to despotism __ the first blow, dealt at the Constitution, that is not resisted is the beginning of the end of the nation’s ruin.” ___ The Old Guard, a monthly journal devoted to the principles of 1776 and 1787.

The Equality Act attempts to exercise legislative power proposed under the “Equal Rights Amendment” which was wisely rejected by the American people, and thus, to this degree, the Act is an attempted usurpation of legislative power not granted.
