You mean like what they had to do with Brown vs the Board of Education. Or the vacating of various Jim Crow laws.
What about Eisenhower ordering in the troops and federal marshalls to escort black students to school.

By your logic slavery is justified if the states allow it, or at the very least ignore its existance. larry On 1/20/06, Tim Heald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We have civil and criminal courts to deal with that. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Larry C.
