On What the Framers of the 1964 Civil-Rights Act Thought About "Quotas"

   I let one of one of the more prominent authors spell it out for you.

  "I will eat my hat if anyone can find language which provides that an employer will have to hire on the basis of percentage or quota related to color, race, religion, or national origin." Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (arguably the most liberal member of the Senate at the time), 1965

   Sounds like a definitive thumbs down, doesn't it?
