All very nice, but the simple fact is that the Constitution, as originally written, put upon Congress the onus of ensuring a Republican form of government in the individual states. Now, as long as the individual states kept their diapers clean, there was no problem. Sadly though, after the Civil War, the southern states allowed for the KKK's reign of terror, and widespread ethnic cleansing as well as activities that can only be described in modern terms as genocidal. On top of this, where these horrible things happened, it was the states that they happened in who chose to deny justice, both through their legislatures and their courts. It was those states who are to blame for the original sin, and trying to pass the blame eslewhere is to avoid being able to adequately deal with the modern problem.

It is also to be noted that it the SCOTUS has a long history of aggravating those issues, with a truly dramatic history of justices who were not only extremely racist to the point of radicalism, but also today a list of judges who are just as radical in their inclination to treat the citizens of the nation not as citizens, but as just 'we-uns working in the fields for massa.' True, racism is fading, but the intolerance and high handed egotism that bred it in the first place are still rampant in the court system.

The most recent outlandish nonsense was the handling of the Florida election, which was clearly a matter that belonged to the Congress to settle. The ruling from SCOTUS in that case is incredibly bizarre, becuase, in effect, it ruled all national elections in the country, past and present to be invalid, since the conditions that the court accepted as validation for their ruling exist in every state in the Union. Clearly, the courts are out of hand, and while the 14th amendment should never have necessary, in fact it was, and the forces that pulled the courts into the matter were not the overstepping of the court, but the recalcitrance, prejudice, stupidity and incompetence of state governments.

Now, sadly, it has become the courts who are off in never never land, but one thing we know for sure. America is no longer a nation where every vote counts or is counted. Now, everyone take a moment of silence to worship SCOTUS.....

PUT THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE:

Between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 Blacks were lynched in the U.S. That number is surpassed in less than 3 days by abortion.

1,452 African-American children are killed each day by the heinous act of abortion.

3 out of 5 pregnant African-American women will abort their child.

Since 1973 there has been over 13 million Black children killed and their precious mothers victimized by the U.S. abortion industry.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson once said:
"That is why the Constitution called us three-fifths human and then whites further dehumanized us by calling us 'niggers'. It was part of the dehumanizing process. The first step was to distort the image of us as human beings in order to justify that which they wanted to do and not even feel like they had done anything wrong. Those advocates of taking life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder, they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore abortion can be justified".

With 1/3 of all abortions performed on Black women, the abortion industry has received over 4,000,000,000 (yes, billion) dollars from the Black community. BlackGenocide.org | LEARN Northeast

State legislatures determine how presidential electors are selected NOT state Supreme Courts and NOT Congress. That is where Florida went off the rails by getting its SC involved where it had no jurisdiction. The USSC DID have jurisdiction over a constitutional question. It acted correctly in throwing out the FSC's meddling.
