The 15th amendment: How does it apply to arguments over whether voting is a right or a privilege?

[Dante]

Somebody I am acquainted with posed a question. That question was - if one supports a national voter list, do they also support a national gun registry, and if not, why? I see people jumping through hoops on this one, performing gymnastics feats that are trumpian in nature.

So, it got me thinking: What do people believe the 15th amendment is all about? What sources (if any at all), do people use to from their opinions?

Read the first ten words after "Section 1." Totally contrary to democrat desires.

So, it got me thinking:

Maybe for the first time in your pathetic life......

But thanks for posting this.

The question in my mind is whether it just applies to federal elections.

Not sure what world or dimension you're posting from...

That's a nonsensical thought: You need help here?

"shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State"

It's a federal law. It applies to ALL elections within the USA.

Apparently English isn't your first language. Clearly you didn't read the first ten words.

It's not a law.

It's an amendment.

It should support all laws. And yet, we don't seem to behave that way.

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not (12 words)

Amendments are not "law?"

PLEASE! SOMEBODY NOTIFY THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
AI Overview BOTS ARE LAUGHING AT YOU:

"Amendments to the U.S. Constitution are not merely ordinary laws (statutes), but rather fundamental, supreme laws that alter the structure of government. While laws are passed by Congress and signed by the President, constitutional amendments are added via a special process, requiring ratification by three-fourths of the states, making them higher authority than statutes."

Now, one of the few times I had to put somebody on an IGNORE LIST (it shall remain temporary, but what a dufus troll this turd is)

Amendments and regular laws differ in their nature and the process of implementation. Amendments are changes or additions made to a constitution, statute, or legislative bill, and they are usually brought about by a set procedure. They are often necessary to address inconsistencies between laws and the constitution, and they can fundamentally alter a country's political system. Amendments are typically proposed by a legislative body, like Congress in the US, and then ratified by a supermajority of states or state legislatures. On the other hand, regular laws are numerous and are approved by both houses of a legislative body and the head of state, like the US Congress and the President. These laws are then implemented by relevant federal agencies and are subject to judicial review for their constitutional validity.
