A New Race-Based State?

This week the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act comes to the Senate floor. If it passes, which appears likely, Hawaiian natives, will be free to govern the state outside the laws of the U.S. Constitution. The only problem, as Mary Katharine Ham at Townhall explains, is that no one has yet asked Hawaiian residents what they want.

A conservative think-tank in Hawaii, the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, commissioned a survey in 2005, which showed that 67 percent of Hawaii residents were against the Akaka bill, and 48 percent of Native Hawaiians surveyed agree.

The Institute’s most recent survey shows that 70 percent of Hawaiian residents want to vote on the Akaka bill before it’s considered on a national level, and 67 percent of residents continue to oppose the Akaka bill.

What a perfect way to separate Americans. Maybe we should adopt this throughout the country - separate states for Hawaiians, blacks, whites, Asians, Mexicans and every other ethnicity. The only problem - well, it seems like Akaka's bill is unconstitutional to me.
