Can you show me a copy where it has been deleted? Because it is IMPOSSIBLE to eliminate the EC without the removal of the language.
Have you ever heard of Jim Crow? My father was born and raised in in (1941). 73 years after the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amendment is cute on paper but still did not assign FULL.Humanity.
You do realize that it meant nothing. Right? Like until the CRA? That Structural Racism in America is due to the WORDS of the Founding Dirtbags? Those words drove 77 million people to vote for a racist, rapist Fascist last November.
And now, the CRA is being diminished to nothing just as the VRA has been diminished to nothing.
It's great to believe all of that 4th of July nonsense - but we aren't going back to that. Set the whole document on fire and start over.
Okay - what goal post did I move now? The one where folks can't piss on my back and tell me it's raining?

I remember when most rural folks had a double-barreled shotgun, a bolt action .22 and a lever action deer rifle.
