MORNING GLORY: President Trump is getting the federal government back on the constitutional path

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order revoking President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s Executive Order 11246 from September 1965 (and many other similar orders and memoranda from the decades since). Trump’s new order is true to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 14th Amendment. Trump’s order can be read here.

The ugly turn that Johnson took on “race accounting,” was a radical one, an opportunity that was extended by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in the 1978 Bakke decision and only finally and completely rejected by SCOTUS in recent years. federal policy that can be enforced by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.

This is not a “liberal” or “conservative” act. The Constitution speaks, as the Constitution was amended to end the great stain of slavery after the long and bloody Civil War.

TRUMP DISPLAYS CULTURE WARFARE AT FIRST OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

The path to the first public interpretation of the 14th amendment is taken from 1868, when the 14th amendment was ratified, until Tuesday to end: Citizens of the United States may not have punishments received from them or rewards given to them based on any characteristic or immutable characteristic. religious belief. No institution, from Harvard College, which was established long before the Constitution was ratified, or a local store, can legally violate this first principle of the 14th Amendment.

Do not discriminate based on race, gender, nationality or religious belief. Time.

The 19th century SCOTUS took a drastic turn in the Slaughterhouse cases that disrupted the interpretation of the 14th Amendment and then the Plessy decision and the Supreme Court reversed itself in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Human Rights Act 1964.

Johnson did not understand what he was presenting, but in the last 20 years, “counting based on race, sex, gender preference,” and the hardships and discrimination of people of faith have become the focus of government and higher institutions.

The Supreme Court has been on the case for nearly 50 years and will finally, and hopefully irrevocably, address what Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King and Chief Justice John Roberts said succinctly and clearly in the 2007 case of Parents Involved in Public Schools v. . Seattle School District No. 1 when he wrote, “The way to stop racism is to stop racism.”

The chief justice lacked enough first-time allies on the high court to instill this strong constitutional principle in all branches of government at all levels of government until President Trump appointed and the United States Senate confirmed three new justices during Trump’s inauguration. Now the original majority is six votes strong.

Trump’s decision can be challenged. I hope so.

The Supreme Court, created in part by President Trump, has already upheld the original interpretation of the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in recent years. Let any institution challenge this new EO and they will find that it is based on strong constitutional principles.

Bravo to the many hands that built it and especially to President Trump who signed it.
