from wikipedia which proves you wrong
"The Missouri Supreme Court ruled in favor of the registrar and against Minor. The state court observed that the "almost universal practice of all of the States ... from the adoption of the Constitution to the present time" was to restrict voting rights to men only;[7] and, additionally, that the clear intent of the Fourteenth Amendment was to give the rights of citizenship to the former slaves, and not to force other changes in state laws. The court noted, in particular, that the second section of the Fourteenth Amendment (penalizing states which denied the right to vote to any of its citizens) referred specifically to male citizens, and concluded that "this clearly recognizes the right, and seems to anticipate the exercise of the right, on the part of the States to restrict the right of suffrage to the male inhabitants."[8]"
Oh Christ! What the hell is wrong with you? I SAID THE SAME THING! The Missouri court did in fact say- as you are saying-that the 14th was for former slaves. However, we are now talking about the US supreme court! In this case they said no such thing. The case turned on the question of whether or not all citizens automatically have the right to vote.
Is it possible that you really don't get that? Do you think that I'm stupid? Are you playing some sick, fucked up game here?
You said it wasnt the 14th that granted the right to vote at all but the 15th.
further.....the SC centered their opinion on the rights of citizens to vote....they did NOT say the 14th wasnt addressing just former slaves.
And yes I really think you are stupid.
"......they did NOT say the 14th wasnt addressing just former slaves".???? They did not say that it was dude. Your argument is still a pathetic fail.
no my argument is not...in fact reading the wiki page reconfirms my opinion.......reread the second part of the wiki and I think you'll have to agree. It does show perhaps tho the poor wording of the 14th which legalistically could be said to have allowed penalties if states didnt allow 12 year-olds to vote.
I have read before however that the 14th was unnecessary for granting voting rights, and that it was in-part written as a favor for Railroad corporations..... perhaps your mistake over the amendment shows that
you do admit that was a mistake on your part right?
What are you smoking? Straighten up and get back to me.
lol, you cant even admit making that little mistake can you
