Unequal protection under the law
With the 60's social movements, great strides have been made to give dispensation to minority groups, stemming from the African-American civil rights movement. Once it is done in one place it extends to groups of every shade and orientation. Accordingly, the trend has been for federal and district court judges to legislate from the bench, viewing legislative bodies to slow and bureuacratic to deal effectively with social issues. This trend has lead to a new legal oligarchy, one that sometimes countervenes the Constitution. One has to ask themselves, "Is this trend, interpertation, and tweaking of American Constitutional law, justified?" This includes quota programs, and welfare criteria.
