25. ummm, have we forgotten the Bill of Rights?
Article V..No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Article IX..The enumeration of the Constitution, or certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.


sorry..developers can deny ownership of property based on price, not based on race, religion, or crimes people have already been punished for. Are we now saying that if a convicted sex offender pays for something..he or she should be discriminated against in the free market?
