Mann Acts back

The long awaited comeback of the Mann Act has been anticipated by scholars and ruby red republicans for quite some time. Now that Spitzer has so kindly brought it back in the news, its time we take a good hard look at old laws such as this that are still on the books and see if our society really has come to any new revolutions concerning womens rights or not. For some history check out what NPR has to say about the White Slave Trafficking Act (actual title of the Mann Act before it got PC). Conspicuous enough, the acts first recipient was Jack Johnson, for having white women as partners.
