While I agree with the Supreme Court’s decision in Plessy v. Ferguson in principle, the problem is that the only race-based right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect is voting rights as evidenced by the 15th Amendment. In other words, the Supremes wrongly legislated segregation rights from the bench imo.
Will somebody please remind me why the Founding States drafted the Constitution?
You believe in principle in legally-enforced racial segregation?

You are ignoring the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Re: “Will somebody please remind me why the Founding States drafted the Constitution?”
Most of them were under the impression it carefully listed all the powers of the federal government and retained all other rights for citizens and states.
And, slightly off topic...
Anyone here watching the Roosevelt special on PBS?
When Teddy ran for president in 1912 as the Progressive Party candidate, he campaigned as a judicial activist with the same radical agenda as Woodrow Wilson.
