“I think the justice’ have got this one wrong.”

Our Founding Fathers would not think that. They allowed only land holders to vote, and no women at all.

That's not true. Some states allowed both male and female voters without being landholders if they had a certain amount of financial holdings. Some states allowed blacks to vote as well. Later, the Democrats pushed through legislation in most of these states to remove the right to vote.
