109. I support the caucus system, just not one based on skin color
The reference to social club was indeed flippant, but it is one of the few organizations left that can discriminate. Anything with tax dollars supporting can not legally discriminate based on color, race, gender, etc. Then again Congress has a long history of exempting itself...

The CBC is a remnant of earlier days that should be disolved. The functions you claim it does are supportable equally well if not better via other methods. Its existence gives ammunition to those who oppose progress.
