“pre-constitutional right to vote”
That’s a new term to me.
“Pre-Constitution” would mean the period of time in which the colonies were ruled by a monarchy. There was no such right to vote; furthermore, it was restrictions on voting and representation that led to the revolution.
The judge is an idiot.

“pre-constitutional right to vote”
That's what got to me too. The phrase of the day was "no taxation without representation". It was precisely the lack of political access and influence that broke the camel's back. A judge capable of uttering the phrase "pre-constitutional right" ought be removed from the bench. Now.
