If political affiliation became a protected class, then Paul Pelosi's attacker would be facing life without parole as this would legally be a hate crime. Plus congress members that were targeted by J6 insurectionists would be able to litigate for security restitution against their attackers under civil rights violations. With the rise of political violence, either physical or stochastic, it is that reason that political ideology, affiliation and party must be a protected class.
