Red state lawmaker triggers alarms with call to overturn Fourteenth Amendment

[Couchpotato]

What case are you talking about?

This was at a press conference.

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."

The case you referenced in the OP. There's only one case before the SCOTUS regarding the 14th amendment. Are you now back tracking your OP?

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?

That's you right?

 

[struth]

Ledbetter’s remarks came in the context of Alabama’s redistricting efforts. The state had been blocked from changing congressional district lines until 2030 due to federal court rulings finding that some maps were racially discriminatory and violated the Voting Rights Act. The same legislature had been found by courts to have engaged in intentional racial discrimination in voting map drawing.

As usual here is a boot licker cheering on racism against black folks.

Um yeah, that’s what thr case is about, redistricting

Come on man…

The Squalid 14th Amendment - LewRockwell

SEC. 1. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection...

The 14th is part of the constitution. There is no arguing that.

And the SCOTUS can't "overturn" it. Such a comment by a lawmaker is ignorant.

But it is still a stupid amendment in many ways.

And it's history is not the cleanest (per the article).

It think it needs being clarrified and that includes a rejection of the disgusting doctrine of selective incorporation.

Explain?

 

[TimFitz]

Um yeah, that’s what thr case is about, redistricting

Come on man…

Nobody has any illusions about what this is about. Every former slave state is busy on it.

 

[struth]

Nobody has any illusions about that.

Cause it’s literally not an illusion. It’s about a map…it’s reality

 

[IM2]

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.

It's time whites like you stopped repeating this racist garbage. We have the right to vote for the people in the party whose plan works in our best interest.

Racial discrimination in redrawing the maps, but that doesn't matter to you.

 

[struth]

Racial discrimination in redrawing the maps, but that doesn't matter to you.

Haha you didn’t even know the case, now you claim to know what it’s about

And claim I don’t care…hilarious

You want racially gerrymandered maps, that how your old white guys can stay in power and not strong black women

Now what does the case before the SCOTUS have to do with voting rights.

Go.

Just because the State Rep from Alabama is stupid doesnt mean you arent stupid as well.

I know the statement the racist made and I know you come running to defend the racist as usual. I want black folks represented by Congress members who are going to actually serve their needs. It's funny how the only strong black women that you see are black women who kiss the asses of racist like you do.

2023 Alabama Federal Redistricting Case —​

The 2023 federal case on Alabama redistricting, Allen v. Milligan, centered on whether Alabama’s congressional map violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), which prohibits dilution of minority voting strength.

Damn and you ask what it has to do with voting rights.

 

[IM2]

Sure he is. He sees everything through the prism of race, and attributes thinking and meaning according to an individual's race. He (and you) are walking definitions of racism.

That's not the definition of racism. The definition of racism is a belief in the superiority or inferiority of people based on race. It is not looking at 250 years of American racism done to us by whites and trying to defend ourselves against it.

Because unless you're black you cant know what racism is....

No, you can be Hispanic, Native American, and Asian. Many white people understand what racism is; you aren't one of them.

The case before the SCOTUS has zero to do with race you moron. It's about birthright citizenship which has zero to do with an individual's race.

OK white man, you can stop trying to tell me what does and does not have anything to do with race. What your kind of white person is doing now was given away years ago by these comments:

You start out in 1954 by saying, “******, ******, ******.” By 1968 you can’t say “******”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “******, ******.”

Lee Atwater​

So you can stop trying to tell me whats not about race just because YOU don't see words that say race.

Too many politicians want to modify the US Constitution for faulty reasons.

The fool doesn't get the fact that the man was talking about oveturning the 14th Amendment. I guess he doesn't know what overturning means.

 

[IM2]

When did I say you didnt?

Your entire argument is that.

It's funny how the only strong black women that you see are black women who kiss the asses of racist like you do.

You don’t even know who the guy is or what the case was about yet you call him racist?

You want your interest, you demklan in power

And you are ok with illegal racial gerrymandering to get it

You are the racist

You want black people segraged to insure the demklan maintains power…you want old white men elected of black people

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

That's not justice; it is white racism, old-fashioned, overt Jim Crow-style white racism.

Racism isn’t wholly owned by blacks. It’s time you figured this out.
