Hate crime, constitutionally rationalized under the Commerce Clause and theThirteenth Amendment, is not viable when one references the Fourteenth Amendment. When our family plays games, the newest rules rule. Isn't that how the Constitution works? Wrap your head around this without trying to formulate clever rebuts while you are reading. I want you to concentrate.

EQUAL PROTECTION. Tell me what is EQUAL in sentencing based on motivation? Who is to judge which offender has a "better" motivation to assault and so double the minimum sentencing? The guidelines should be equal, across the board or the very heart of this amendment looses it's power. Prejudicial mistreatment is a horror, hence this addition to our mighty law. It is unconstitutional to fake a left attempting to get around this rock of an amendment.
