Integration versus segregation. It has always been this argument. The natural rights of men versus the interpretation of the rules of men. Interpretations by the Court of Sympathy versus the Spirit and Truth of the Law in the Court of Empathy. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the quiet part out loud on behalf of the Democrat Party. Per Gateway Pundit:"Ketanji Brown Jackson literally and directly compares black people not electing their preferred candidates to disabled people not being able to enter buildings 'They don’t have equal access to the voting system. They’re disabled.'"Disabled (adj.) is "incapacitated," 1630s, past-participle adjective from disable. Earlier it meant "legally disqualified" (mid-15c.). An earlier word for "lacking physical ability or strength" was unabled (early 15c.). So which is it Justice; are we legally disqualified or lacking the ability to vote?
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, before joining the Supreme Court, said during a 2001 speech, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life" In the Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) decision the Supreme Court ruled that Black people, whether enslaved or free, could not be citizens and therefore had no right to sue in federal court. Chief Justice Roger Taney wrote that Black people "had no rights which the white man was bound to respect". In the Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) decision, the Court established the "separate but equal" doctrine, providing the legal basis for Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation. In Korematsu v. United States (1944),the court upheld the legality of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066, which led to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II based on their race. Justice Hugo Black hired a Catholic as his secretary to throw the press and his "enemies" off the scent of his Ku Klux Klan involvement. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Black to the Supreme Court without knowing how active he had been in the Klan in the 1920s. He was confirmed by his fellow senators before the full KKK connection was known. Black opined, I don't think it would have mattered. Roosevelt needed racist Southern Redeemers to get his racially tinged economic program, the New Deal, passed. "No right is more precious in a free country than that of having a voice in the election of those who make the laws under which, as good citizens, we must live. Other rights, even the most basic, are illusory if the right to vote is undermined."
John Adams wrote, "We electors have an important constitutional power placed in our hands; we have a check upon two branches of the legislature . . . the power I mean of electing at stated periods [each] branch. . . . It becomes necessary to every [citizen] then, to be in some degree a statesman, and to examine and judge for himself of the tendency of political principles and measures. Let us examine, then, with a sober, a manly . . . and a Christian spirit; let us neglect all party [loyalty] and advert to facts; let us believe no man to be infallible or impeccable in government any more than in religion; take no man’s word against evidence, nor implicitly adopt the sentiments of others who may be deceived themselves, or may be interested in deceiving us." The 14th Amendment grants citizenship and equal protection under the law and the 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote based on race. Because I am Black and medically disabled, I do not need someone of my own race or gender to represent me. That disables my citizenship.
A citizen( n.) is c. 1300, citisein (fem. citeseine) "inhabitant of a city or town," from Anglo-French citesein, citezein "city-dweller, town-dweller, citizen" (Old French citeien, 12c., Modern French citoyen), from cite (see city) + -ain (see -ian). According to Middle English Compendium, the -s-/-z- in Anglo-French presumably replaced an earlier *-th-. Old English words were burhsittend and ceasterware. Sense of "freeman or inhabitant of a country, member of the state or nation, not an alien" is late 14c. Meaning "private person" (as opposed to a civil officer or soldier) is from c. 1600. As a title, 1795, from French: During the French Revolution, citoyen was used as a republican alternative to Monsieur. Citizen's arrest, one carried out by a private person, without a warrant, allowable in certain cases, is recorded from 1941; citizen's band (radio) from 1947. Citizen of the world (late 15c.) translates Latin civem totius mundi, Greek kosmopolites. Adam Smith makes it plain to Democrats why they should have an affinity for the citizen and not the illegal. He writes."He is not a citizen who is not disposed to respect the laws and to obey the civil magistrate; and he is certainly not a good citizen who does not wish to promote, by every means in his power, the welfare of the whole society of his fellow-citizens." Rather here one day or fifty years, the illegal does not respect the laws or obey the civil magistrate. Section 1325 of 1911.8 United States Code sets forth criminal offenses relating to (1) improper entry into the United States by an alien, (2) entry into marriage for the purpose of evading immigration laws, and (3) establishing a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading immigration laws. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) amended 8 U.S.C. § 1325 to provide that an alien apprehended while entering or attempting to enter the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty. "There is no definitive evidence to confirm that U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar married her brother. The claim originated in 2016 during her campaign for the Minnesota House of Representatives and has since been circulated widely, particularly by conservative outlets and commentators. It centers on her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, with allegations suggesting he is her sibling and that the marriage was a fraudulent attempt to secure U.S. immigration benefits for him. Omar has consistently denied these allegations," It would be great to teach Omar the difference between a citizen and an illegal. Then, maybe she can hang out at Letitia James' Virginia house.
To former abolitionists and to the Radical Republicans in Congress who fashioned Reconstruction after the Civil War, the 15th Amendment, enacted in 1870, appeared to signify the fulfillment of all promises to African Americans. Set free by the 13th amendment, with citizenship guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, Black males were given the right to vote by the 15th Amendment. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, sometimes known as the Reconstruction Amendments, were critical to providing African Americans with the rights and protections of citizenship. Frederick Douglass tirelessly labored to end slavery but true equality remained out of reach. Despite the successful passage of several Constitutional amendments and federal laws after the Civil War, unwritten rules and Jim Crow laws continued to curtail the rights and freedoms of African Americans. Douglass wrote,"wrongs are not much now written in laws which all may see – but the hidden practices of people who have not yet, abandoned the idea of Mastery and dominion over their fellow man." Racism, violence, and vigilantism were the tools of this "Mastery," which permitted whites to produce a social order characterized by inequality. Douglass, in a post Civil War speech, “Appeal to Congress for Impartial Suffrage” (1867) said, "Man is the only government-making animal in the world. His right to a participation in the production and operation of government is an inference from his nature, as direct and self-evident as is his right to acquire property or education. It is no less a crime against the manhood of a man, to declare that he shall not share in the making and directing of the government under which he lives, than to say that he shall not acquire property and education. The fundamental and unanswerable argument in favor of the enfranchisement of the negro is found in the undisputed fact of his manhood. He is a man, and by every fact and argument by which any man can sustain his right to vote, the negro can sustain his right equally. It is plain that, if the right belongs to any, it belongs to all. The doctrine that some men have no rights that others are bound to respect, is a doctrine which we must banish as we have banished slavery, from which it emanated. " Douglass was not asking for special rights but the observance of the natural rights, God-given to all men.
I lie on my back and write this. My medical disability does not separate me from my citizenship and the Reconstruction Amendments qualifies me to vote. DEI Supreme Court Justice Jackson is at it again. As are all the Democrats attempting to herd Black voters on their politically ideological plantation. While it had been US Representative Nancy Pelosi's responsibility to sally forth the plantation overseers when she was Speaker, that duty has fallen to Minority Leader of the U.S House of Representatives Hakeem "House negroes" Jeffries to send out the radicals like Omar, US House of Representative Jasmine Crockett, and MAGA-hater US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). This gives Nancy some time to pick the drapes for her minimum-security federal prison camps like maybe FPC Montgomery, All the gardening you can handle in the Alabama heat. George Santos will be made available for your "conjugal" visit. Diddy will bring the baby oil. What? Too soon. But Jackson is a "wild card" of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) radical left. What is most unsettling about Jackson's comment is the term "they". She didn't use the term "we". She referred to Black people as "they" and did not say "we". Most will say that's petty as she has to appear impartial. Thoroughgood Marshall argued that separate could never be equal, and that Jim Crow denied black citizens “equal protection under the law.” Black like me. Why didn't we hear that? AI says, "People say "they" instead of "we" for two main reasons: "they" can be a gender-neutral pronoun for a single person, and the word "we" is a first-person plural pronoun, whereas "they" is a third-person pronoun used to refer to a group of people or things that does not include the speaker. " So is this a DEI reference or do you no longer feel a part of the group? Does America no longer suffer from the conditions that made the Supreme Court's previous interpretation of the law? The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1870, prohibits denying citizens the right to vote based on their "race, color, or previous condition of servitude". It was the last of the Reconstruction Amendments, aimed at securing voting rights for newly freed African American men after the Civil War, Jackson, Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation and discrimination, were not a uniform national system, and they existed in a much milder form in states like Maine and California compared to the Deep South. “Out of all things, there is only one with no present or future, and that is the past. In most cases, this is fortunate, but in some, it is not. Remember the past, learn from it, yet avoid reliving it,” eaid Boris Zubry. ?We the People" are committed to not reliving the Democrat-influenced Jim Crow era in our future elections.
People say "they" instead of "we" because of the psychology of decision-making and self-perception. For many, using "we" to describe their internal dialogue is a way to personify the split between the mind, heart, and body—treating them as separate entities or two voices in a conversation. Conversely, "we" can be a social strategy to include or group others and avoid personal responsibility. People may use "we" to foster a sense of connection or shared understanding with the listener, even when speaking about a personal thought or experience. Stephen A. Smith says that Democrats have forgotten the Black voter. Speaking on NewsNation’s “Cuomo”, Smith said Democrats don’t take the time to tell Black voters what they have been doing successfully. Instead, he said, they simply repeat the same talking points they have had for decades. “With this latest stuff, with the whole woke culture, cancel culture, transgender issues and all of this other stuff you got to remember along the way, you forgot about us and why? Because you know you have our vote, because that’s been the case since the mid-60s,” Smith said. "I saw the shift during the second President George Bush's candidacy. I watched and read how the outreach towards African American men and women went from providing reasons why we should vote Democrat to "Republicans are going to destroy this country. Black people have to vote for the Democrats," LeRon L. Barton opined in Newsweek. The case, State of Louisiana v. Phillip Callais (and the related Press Robinson v. Phillip Callais), stems from Louisiana’s woke lawmakers caving to left-wing judges and creating a second “majority-minority” congressional district. “Today at SCOTUS, the [DOJ Civil Rights Division] told the Justices that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act cannot constitutionally require race-predominant districting!" , Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet wrote.
