Red state lawmaker triggers alarms with call to overturn Fourteenth Amendment

[Superbadbrutha]

This entire STUPID THREAD is based on a COMMENT by a "Red State Lawmaker". Just so you know the SCOTUS decides the future of the 14th Amendment, not some random "Red State Lawmaker".

It is the racist lawmakers who put the racist jurist on the bench. Why do you think McConnell stopped Pres Obama fron putting someone on the bench. Republicans have been working on this for years.

Really? How's that?

Why wouldn't I when I have seen it before. Of course they want political gain and to take any kind of political power or gain from folks of color. Does the black vote help Democrats win elections?

Yes, black votes help dems win elections, but it doesn’t mean they are trying to gerrymander because they are black, it’s because 83% of black people vote democrat.

If 83% of black people voted republican, you’d see them trying to make districts of ONLY black people, to get that vote.

Tell me a civil rights law a Republican signed into law in the last 70yrs.

Are you serious? Surely you are joking or delusional as hell. It is republicans who are attacking Civil Rights Laws and any other law that might benefit black folks.

Civil rights act of 1991

That was easy

If a frog had a glass ass it would break. They are trying to cripple the black vote for numerous reasons.

It's amazing how you fools think racism and discrimination is just something we cooked up in our heads, we are literally watching it unfold and you are trying to convince us it's a mirage.

No one has said racism doesnt exist. No one has said discrimination doesnt exist. I know that it does and that it sadly always will. (You are a prime example of them both existing). Everything isnt racism or discrimination and it doesnt exist nearly to the degree you would have everyone believe IMO.

What is a fact is that the case currently in front of the SCOTUS regarding the 14th amendment has nothing to do with racism nor will any decision the court could possibly have regarding that case have any effect on voting rights for anyone including black people even in Alabama. The case is solely about Trump signing an EO ending birthright citizenship via the 14th amendment. The court will either affirm birthright citizenship or it will strike it down. Neither of those 2 outcomes will effect black citizens of Alabama or any where else in the US's ability to cast votes. Now if you have something of substance to rebut that feel free to post it, but we both know you wont because you cant. You're no less a racist blowhard than David Duke.

Is a black person's vote in district A worth less than his vote in district B? That you feel a black person should only vote one way is about as racist as it gets....

Hikerguy,

STFU. You know that is exactly what you guys are doing. You picked Trump for that very reason.

Your mad ****** doesn’t care anymore, lol

If you can’t prove you are who you claim you are, show up at a spot and wait in line you deserve to be excluded from voting.

Another post that does not address the topic.

If the majority of district A is black and then you split it so that they are now the minority you tell me

A red state lawmaker quietly called on the Supreme Court to overturn the Fourteenth Amendment, but plenty of people are calling out the stunning remark.

The GOP state Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter told local media, "I certainly hope the Supreme Court will overturn Amendment 14," as the state moves to redistrict. The Fourteenth Amendment promises equal protection under the law, as well as due process and birthright and naturalized citizenship.

Ledbetter told the press that the Alabama House is still seeking more power to change their state's elections, saying, "all we need now is the courts to overturn Fourteen, and we can look at the election."

Joyce Vance, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, noted that "this is the same legislative body a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps."

It's all in our heads, republicans don't want to go back to the days of Jim Crow.

What does the 14th Amendment do again?

Liar.

Modifying the erroneous interpretation of the 14th Amendment (relative to the alleged “birthright citizenship” matter) isn’t an assault on the 14th Amendment.

In any event, SCOTUS couldn’t possibly overrule a Constitutional Amendment. At most, the American people could propose an Amendment to rescind the 14th.

That is hardly something most people would endorse.

You guys need to stop making up definitions of racism. Why are only majority-black populated districts being cut up? Those districts are not majority black because they were politically made that way. They are majority black because the people living in those areas are mostly back. So what's wrong with them being represented by someone who lives in that community? Why aren't majority white communities being cut up into districts where the majority of the population is black if you people are so interested in color not mattering?

If we use the logic of you and others like you, rural white communities are racist because they only have white districts, even if no black people live there.

We should vote according to our best interests. not be forced to vote against it because white people don't like it. The policies Republicans have to offer at this time are not productive for us as black people. This doesn't seem to register with whites like you.

Superbad is not an example of the existence of racism and discrimination. Whites such as you have twisted yourself into a belief whereby whites are the victims of discrimination simply because peple call out your behavior.

Until you turn black and live, stop telling us that racism and discrimination don't exist to the degree we see it existing. Whites have always done this, it's an old, sad tactic. The case before the court has everything to do with racism. If the 14th is overturned, others will be. We know how this works.

Oh we know it's real.

White people have been discriminated against for quite some time now.

But you somehow think we deny what went on in the past.

I certainly don't.

That fact that you can't let go of that and see just how twisted things have become...isn't my problem.

Well, it is...but I am dealing with it by doing what democrats have always done.

He's been told that as has the idiot C_Clayton_Jones .

The moron who called for it clearly needs some civics education.

Just as the racebaiters on the board need some history lessons.

That's life.

Just check the 20-odd districts in New England.

No. Unless you're saying that black people vote as a monolith and don't have the ability to think as individuals and thus vote accordingly.
