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.

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.

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.

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?

IOW... It set conditions which must be met for someone to Vote. A distinction without a difference. Before that, they could NOT vote.

Of course not. However, they were not afford all of the Rights of the rest of us. This is undeniable. Even by you.

Devotion to immorality? I live a very moral life. I attend church, am monogamously married, and I'm raising my kids the same way. So much this this alleged "devotion" you are prattling about...

Also, Constitutionally limited government is not "anarchy". It just doesn't give you as much control as you want. Sorry... Them's the breaks.
