They have lost a battle but the war goes on
We should breathe an enormous sigh of relief but we also need to understand that the forces that would dare to engineer such nightmarish legislation have only lost a battle but not the war. They will be back, rest assured of that. They have no intention of stopping their headlong attack on every aspect of civil liberties.
What the Blunt Amendment really intended to do was dynamite open a door that has been legally padlocked in the workplace for decades. It was an attempt to allow employers to exercise all manner of discrimination and control over working American citizens. The Blunt Amendment would create an extremely dangerous slippery slope leading directly to the unraveling of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Besides prohibiting employment discrimination based on religion and sex, Title VII prohibits discrimination based on race, color, and national origin. Rest assured that if the Blunt Amendment were law that somehow, someway, discrimination against "race, color, and national original" would follow.
