[You want Jim Crow?]

Nope

Assuming for the sake of argument that your answer were true, how could Jim Crow laws have been eliminated without the increased federal role played in civil rights enforcement?

Yes. We would have the same or better - especially w.r.t. affirmative action - civil right situation without federal intervention.

You are mistaking showcase cases for general progress. The Old South might have been around a little longer, but it would have been just as extinct as it is today.

All that without taking into account the large negative effects of federal civil rights "enforcement." Or do you think the Civil Right Commission hasn't been a negative influence for about three decades - since LBJ - now?

Nope, nor do I want prohibition.

I do want a government that was a low percentage of GDP, with low tax rates, and a pre-New Deal interpretation of the General Welfare and Commerce clauses.
ARE YOU AGAINST THAT?

Typical roscoe-blather... Unable to answer a simple question as to whether he supports a constitutional government, -- his diversion on 'jim crow' ignores the non-enforcement of the 14th amendment, the original 'civil rights' law.
Minimal court action taken in the 1870s-80s would have nipped jim crow in the bud.
