Hawaiian Separatism

The senate will vote for cloture on S-147, dubbed The Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005, on Sept. 6th. This bill should be opposed for the sake of the fifteenth amendment, not to mention the welfare of the Native Hawaiian population. See Senator Kyl's (R-AZ) essay from the Republican Policy Committee, here. It outlines not only the negative policy considerations, but also the unconstitutionality of the measure.
