“This is why the 15th Amendment has got to go.”

Section. 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Section. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

I’m not thrilled with the implications of Section 2, but it has to be inforceable somehow. What do you suggest?
