In some places, yes, but we have a constitution that prohibits favoring one over another. Theoretically.
Yeah, but only theoretically. Consider the persecutions of Mormons in the 1870, ostensibly over religion when the real problem was their ballot and officeholder dominance of the Utah Territory thwarting the goals of D.C. politicians and wealthy non-Mormons (many outside the state) who wanted statehood and more Federal control. Prohibitions over the use of psychotropics by Native Americans is another. steve
