" Where do you find this in the passage that Bernie quoted? Kirk opposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and with good reason, because it was a tremendous violation of the federalist principle of the Constitution. He did not oppose suffrage for blacks, which they had enjoyed for almost a century before this masterpiece of centralization was considered. Sent at: 2008 08 29
