Due to the way most Americans will vote, I don't think this is even an issue, and neither will it be an issue for some time to come.

But still, better to cross the bridge now than when we get to it and it becomes a problem.

Even if there's no chance that a law change will have any effect on the presidential elections for some time to come, shouldn't America always be striving to promote equal opportunity?
