Actually, I am in favor of mandatory INTER-RACIAL marriage. Do that for four or five generations and we'll get rid of the really sharp and divisive so-called "racial" issues in this country. Where do I sign up for Condi Rice? ;~))

"States rights, in this instance, was just an excuse to defend the indefensible. "
No, the point is that the states did not delegate away the authority that the federal government was seeking to take.
It's not an issue of which policy you would prefer. The issue is whether or not the federal government had the Constitutional authority to come into a state and change the laws of that state. The Dixiecrats were right in saying that the federal government did not have such authority.

I believe that we will see the leadership of the Democratic extend an olive branch of sorts to Lott, a grudglingly apology-accepted stance, in order to keep him as the Majority Leader.
'Lott the Majority Leader' is more useful to the Dens than 'Lott the Senator'.

Well, of course, it is worthy of note that Dixiecrats "prefered" racist policies when given a chance to enact them in their own states.

If you ask me the violence and hatred exhibited in Boston because of bussing was much worse than anything I saw in the South.Thank you

The Dixiecrats not only felt that segregation was a local issue. They also thought that each state should have the right to throw the plain language of the 15th Amendment out the window.
