> To frame this using your coding analogy, we don't have comments getting out of sync with code, we have two different pieces of code getting out of sync with each other. I get what you're saying and agree, actually. That said, it's pretty clear to me that whatever code that you're thinking of isn't running anywhere but in the minds of (mostly White) voters. It's almost completely absent from all forms of government except, perhaps, local governments in rural areas. Trump occasionally makes gestures in that direction but takes no action, as far as I can tell. The people in power everywhere are running the piece of code that produced today's Supreme Court decision, and are overjoyed with the results. A more interesting question is, why do we have two separate codes that are out of sync? And what should we do about it (if anything)? But that's too big of a topic for the HN comment section. Thanks for the back and forth, I appreciate it. :)
