I have a problem with the use of the term equity.  It is not a term that goes with justice.  Equality is the proper term.  Equity and equal are not the same and do not mean the same thing.

Putting equity together with justice implies mob rule or vigilantism.

The concept is equal justice for all, not equitable justice for all.  The Constitution is about equal justice for all in case you forgot.


Never said they did.  Your objections to equity makes it clear you have a very limited understanding of its importance , of its necessity and, quite frankly the utter lack of EQUALITY in justice across the history of this country.

Unfortunately, those terms are too often used interchangeably and they don't mean the same thing.  However, they do both apply to justice (or a justice system), as equity meaning: ​“the state, qual­i­ty or ide­al of being just, impar­tial and fair.”

F.B.I. Monitored Aretha Franklin for Years, File Shows
Franklin’s recently released F.B.I. file reflects an era when the agency spied not only on civil rights leaders, political organizers and suspected Communists, but also on popular Black entertainers involved in civil rights activism.

That doesn't really change things.

The Long Shadow of Eugenics in America
As young girls, the Relf sisters were sterilized without consent. What does the government owe them — and the thousands of other living victims?
In the summer of 1973, Minnie Lee and Mary Alice were taken from their home in Montgomery, cut open and sterilized against their will and without the informed consent of their parents by a physician working in a federally funded clinic. The Relf case would change the course of history: A lawsuit filed on their behalf, Relf v. Weinberger, helped reveal that more than 100,000 mostly Black, Latina and Indigenous women were sterilized under U.S. government programs over decades. It also officially ended this practice and forced doctors to obtain informed consent before performing sterilization procedures — though as it would turn out, forced sterilizations by state governments would continue into the 21st century.

(...)

The history of legalized forced sterilization by the government begins in 1907, when Indiana became the first state to pass a eugenics law providing for the involuntary sterilization of “confirmed criminals, idiots, imbeciles and rapists.” Those affected early on were mainly men viewed as criminalistic, including those whose “defect” was supposedly excessive masturbation or homosexuality.

“That first law focused on vasectomizing poor white men who were identified as being sexually deviant,” says Dr. Alexandra Minna Stern, a professor of American history and culture at the University of Michigan and co-director of the Sterilization and Social Justice Lab. Her research team studies the history of eugenic sterilization in the United States and has collected the records of more than 60,000 survivors in California, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina and Utah. “We’re talking about sterilizing populations that are being seen as hypersexualized or as sexually inappropriate, as promiscuous, as not having middle-class sexual respectability.”
