True, but not to the point



Actually, he said voting for it was perpetuation of racial entitlement, speaking of the congress-people who were, most recently, unanimous in extending its life.

On the whole, he’s right about that, though he exaggerates.

But that misses the point.

Two of them, actually.

The 15th Amendment says congress can enforce it by appropriate legislation.

And this about why congress critters vote for it sheds no light on whether it is appropriate.

Also, it's is not good that the Supremes get to decide this matter.

John Marshall did us no favors, creating an judicial veto that no one and nothing could override.
