My friend, once again, you don't see my point. It is so obvious to you that this is the case. Some very bright men who knew a lot more about our constitution and laws happened to disagree with you. My point is that it is not as obvious as you'd like to believe.

Yeah, it takes such a scholar to read this section:

nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

And figure out that it allows states to lawfully discriminate against someone based on race. I stand corrected and instead should be in awe of those men who found the penumbra, the exception in such otherwise clear and concise language.

Seriously, if that is considered "bright", I don't want any part of it. That's the same kind of nonsense that brought us Roe v. Wade and countless other crap decisions. It's funny how people will defend the destruction of clear Constitutional language when it fits their agenda, and then condemn it later when it doesn't.
