@taz "Back in the states where it belongs"?
If we left civil rights to the states, black folks still wouldn't be able to vote in most of the south.

Why are you so confident in state legislatures to get the Roe question right, but believe that a small council of oligarchs should override the will of the masses at the federal level? How does that square up?

As for your claim that the 13th and 14th amendments weren't popular, then why did their predecessor, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, pass with such overwhelming support as to override a presidential veto? Especially following a period where the "mob" you so loathe *went to war* to defend the rights of others not to be enslaved.
