Yes I saw your response. That's still doesn't address the issue I brought up. Sure the 14th amendment should have been enough but clearly was not. If it was we wouldn't have needed civil rights legislation over the years nor the 19th amendment. That's kind of point of the living document our Constitution is. It was designed to be changed and altered with the times of society. Soemtimes that can be done with legislation or SCOTUS rulings and not just with amendments.


For example, not to long ago the SCOTUS ruled on, what to most was obvious I think, that the 2nd amendment protected personal weapon ownership rights. Clearly the amendment was not enough for some so had to be addressed.
