"The issue here is that you don't issue blanket protections for those who do not contribute to the society as a whole. The right to vote should be contingent on responsible participation and contribution."
That was not the issue decided by the case of which this thread is the subject, South Carolina v. Katzenbach, nor was that issue at the heart of the dissent. The issue was the reach of federal power, and as the dissent noted, once accepted for the case in question it would be difficult to deny that reach anywhere the federal congress wanted.
