Book excerpt: Excerpt from Equality by Statute: Legal Controls Over Group Discrimination For the first time, in this country, the question Of what law can and cannot do, should and should not attempt to do, toward the reduction or abolition of intergroup discrimina tion has become a matter of practical importance. The reason is that in this country, for the first time, a substantial move ment of public opinion has developed against such discrimina tory attitudes. We shall not ask why this movement has taken place. The fact suffices for the argument. State after state, responsive to the movement, has been passing laws to give it further impetus. Law adds the sanction Of enforcement to a general rule. Law is meaningless, or rather it is not law, unless it has the power, and makes some kind of use of the power, to punish the violator Of the rule it enacts.
