This is not a power the Federal Government had until after the Republican/Democrat war. Now the grand all knowing Federal leviathan gets to be the master of what is equal and what is not. It served its purpose to end slavery and minimize racism but the Civil War amendments are now a favorite tool for leftists to acquire more power and they need to be repealed.

If the Communist Democrats and the Sniveling Republicans paid attention to the INTENT of those amendments, they would realize that they and their fellow-travelers were using the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to pull all sorts of crap out of their asses.

13th can still be used to crack down on human trafficking (slavery) and prison bitchery (private enslavement during incarceration), while 14th, believe it or not, could be the one basis upon which we have federal immigration policy, since it gives a federal definition for U.S. Citizenry. The 15th Amendment will protect White voters in the future, if future governments bother to apply it to everybody.
