How is that "institutional racism" when the comment in question was specifically about private businesses? ?

His job is to represent the interests of his constituents and perhaps he felt this is what they wanted.

His job is to represent them, but that does not supersede his oath to the Constitution.

Where in the Constitution does it say discrimination by private businesses on the basis of race is prohibited?
I'll wait.

You're just grabbing at straws now, having failed to demonstrate even 5th grade social studies level knowledge of the constitution ?
Please tell me how the bill of rights (I posted the whole thing right there, you don't even have to Google it) applies to the lawmaker's comment or just admit you don't know jack shit about the constitution.

Yeah I was referring to the 14th. It has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to preclude racial discrimination.

No, the Supreme Court upheld the Civil Rights Act did not violate the Constitution. This does not mean the Constitution bans discrimination by business owners. The Constitution says nothing about the subject either way.

Isn't 11 months and 29 days imprisonment an excessively cruel punishment for breaking the Law prohibiting possession of marijuana?

Regardless of what Ginsburg said, the lawmaker is perfectly free to advocate for a constitutional amendment overturning the 14th amendment.
