Feelings of Dred 4

I predict that the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act decision will eventually be judged as infamous a sell-out to bigotry and oppression as was the Dred Scott decision.

Greasing of Civil War 2. It took zero time for the neo-Confederates to immediately move forward with their disenfranchisement legislation. They didn’t even consider a diplomatic pause and that’s because they instinctively know, something a lot of the opposition doesn’t fully grasp, that they can do unconstitutionality and nullification faster than it can be undone. As long as that’s allowed they don’t have to actually shell a Fort Sumter. The President knows all this. He assuredly sees this as a ‘remedy’ to his fair election.

DIdn’t take long, did it?

That’s what Rachel Maddow’s report, that I posted later, is about.

Yes, watched it. The actions made the Supremes look all the more odious with their sanctimonious crap about how times have changed in the south. I’m going to post a YouTube excerpt from the Lee Atwater documentary that explains the southern attitude we immediately see. Part of this is also about the “We’ll show you” act of revenge-taking.

I’m a Southern boy. I grew up under Jim Crow.

I know a bigot when I see one.

And there are five of them on the Supreme Court.

Looking forward to your post.
