[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1831304, member: 4319"] You're living a world where the Constitution has never been amended, states have never passed laws that violate it, and the supreme court has never ruled the Constitutionality of such laws. So, the fourteenth amendment wasn't adopted until 1868. I guess it's with "the state's rights" to implement segregation by law, since we live in 1788. I've read the enumerated powers in Article 1, and I can tell you that "the power to make laws enforcing racial segregation" is not in there anywhere. Therefore, since it's not stated explicitly in Article 1, that means the Federal Government doesn't have the power to do it. Staying with this logic train, if the Federal Government is not granted the power to pass such a law, it's within the state's rights to pass and enforce suck a law according to this: "State's rights" is such a weird slope for the conservative/small government/libertarian sect to champion as that basically undermines the individual and gives the states the power to hold you down and poop in your mouth because that's a right "reserved to the states". Of course, I'm typing the above on a forum where people thought Ed & Elaine Brown were sane, rational and patriotic and that their actions were completely legal under the Constitution. I'm sure if they let Ed Brown post on OSA from Federal Prison he'd be telling me how wrong I am, too. [/QUOTE]
