Justice Ginsburg Slams Supreme Court’s ‘Hubris’ In Fiery Dissent On Voting Rights Act

6. As Thom Hartmann and Justice Scalia have both noted, the constitution doesn't give the right to vote

The Voting Rights act basically keeps states from discriminating in this area, but the fundamental right is still not there and is left over from the slavery days too. Scalia noted this in the 2000 decision to override the Florida Supreme Court's recount process. Hartmann notes this as a reason to do an amendment to the constitution to institute the right to vote.

I think that now we should add both putting in the right to vote in our constitution along with the fundamental pillars of the Voting Rights Act as an amendment, as well as updating the 4th amendment so that there are no more gray areas in protecting our privacy that allows it to be abused by both the government and private business. We need to add these amendments to the movetoamend.org effort to get rid of corporate personhood crap and the "money is free speech" crap that this conservative judicial activist court gave earlier before their activist decisions of this week.

We need to find ways to appeal to the masses on this and get this to be more of a grass roots efforts to have the states lead the charge, as the federal government and our court system are corrupt as hell now!
