Since its members do not discuss membership criteria in public, we can only guess what they are. Common practice in similar organizations indicate that new members are admitted by invitation only and that invitation requires sponsorship by a current member and approval by a fraction of all members. Because it is a private club, Augusta National can not only limit admissions but has no duty to explain its membership policies to anyone outside the club.

The lesson here, for Rightists, is simply another reminder that nothing has corrupted the Constitution more than the Commerce Clause and Civil-Rights legislation.

Since Plessy v Ferguson, the Sup Ct, Congress, and the Executive have conspired to re-write the Constitution with the declared purpose of dealing with our 'race problem'. Because they do not understand the race problem, their efforts are counter-productive. The race-problem is simply a phrase to describe what happens any time more than one race of humans share the same territory. From Brazil to Boston, race is not always the number-one issue, but it often is, and it never disappears from the top-10 list.

Now that the 2012 Masters Tournament is over, the hounds of political correctness have stopped baying at Augusta National Golf Club over its membership policies. The gender-grievance industry is moving on, looking for a new target to harangue.

Yet as the Augusta National brouhaha recedes, there are some things I wonder about.

To begin with, why would a Republican candidate for president weigh in on an issue as insignificant as whether a private Georgia golf club offers membership to women?

No one was surprised that President Obama wanted the world to know he disapproves of Augusta National's policy. This is...
