You haven't answered my question, WHERE is that in the Constitution?

You know as well as I do that it isn't in the Constitution up until the 14/15th Amendments. Voting regulations have always been set by the States. However, Federal laws set Citizenship. Women and racial minorities held in servitude were not given equal access to those Rights and were considered property.

Property cannot hold office. Nor could it vote.

Any more red herrings?

As for what is and isn't in the Constitution, are you sure you want to go down that road? FAA, FCC, DEA, NEA, DoE, NASA, etc... None of which have a single job duty laid out in Art 1 Sect 8.

But then again, neither is legislating sex between consenting adults, but that doesn't seem to slow you down either...

Wrong again.

The Constitution NEVER said that women or blacks weren't citizens and couldn't vote.

There is NOTHING in the Constitution or any amendment giving ANYONE the right to vote. All any amendments do is state the conditions under which a right to vote established by the state cannot be denied.

Property cannot hold office. Nor could it vote.

You are operating under the false impression that all blacks were slaves and that none were citizens.

Any more red herrings?

I'm sure if you try hard enough you can come up with more.

What does any of this have to do with libertarian anarchy and devotion to immorality?

But then again, neither is legislating sex between consenting adults, but that doesn't seem to slow you down either...

I guess the 10th Amendment only matters when it is furthering libertarian desires?

Oh, women were considered mere property at the time of the writing of the Constitution? News to me! Maybe quote where in the Constitution that is enunciated. They weren't allowed to vote of course but that is not the same as being considered to be mere property.
