Using that logic, we would have been two countries come around 1860 and black people wouldn't be voting in the South.

No, the laws caught up with the needs of justice eventually. Or are you ready to let gays get married under the same premise as blacks not being able to vote?

Huh?

The Civil War was NOT an example of justice catching up eventually. It was a matter of justice imposed by force, at the expense of the law. Did you know Lincoln actually had a SC justice essentially taken prisoner (he had the army go stop the train he was on) so he could raise an army even though the court said it was unconstitutional?

And what does Gay Marrage have to do with anything? If you have a valid point here, it's not clear. If anything, it would appear to strenghten my arguement that sometimes laws go to far and have no place in society and must be resisted.

Whatever these laws were, the 60s and the "great society" reversed all of them, making confederate social local conflicts of interests above that of the Union....not to mention the rsulting overturning of the 2nd amendment and other fine institutions in our nation.

Get a grip, the laws are not catching up, the degrading proabortion revolutionarians are.
