Do you mean the First Amendment amplified by the Fourteenth?

Yes. But I would rather that the 14th amendment were repealed because it gives way too much power to the federal government. We have state constitutions with their own bill of rights.

With the repeal of the 14th Amendment, would states then have the power, under the federal constitution, to again disenfranchise blacks? (assuming they changed their own constitutions).

I don't think so. This nation has been down that road before. We can study the results.

No thank you.

Real men don't whine.
