Have you seen the recent uproar from the media and the left for the Supreme Court even considering throwing out once and for all the Voting Rights Act?

According to them the South is fundamentally racist and should be punished forever with discriminatory laws.

SNL got on the act this past weekend:

-
During the Weekend Update segment of SNL tonight, Seth Meyers and host Kevin Hart mocked the Supreme Court for even considering the Voting Rights Act is outdated. Meyers found this just slightly hypocritical, saying “I don’t think you get to say what’s outdated when you’re a small council of old people in robes who decide our laws and can’t be fired.”

On the argument that the Voting Rights Act unfairly punishes the South, Meyers admitted that the North has “some of America’s best racists,” but compared the South to the Michael Jordan of racism. Hart told the justices that they can’t just do stuff like this because they have their “one black friend”: Clarence Thomas.

Hart mocked the idea it’s unconstitutional, saying black people for some reason are particularly sensitive about what’s considered constitutional. Meyers pointed out that if the South had its way, they would get their very own president, with Hart admitting he’s still nervous about traveling south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Meyers singled out Mississippi for being the one state that only just now got around to outlawing slavery, quipping that not only did it take them 150 years after Lincoln, but “they waited six months after Lincoln the movie.”

The disgusting prejudice against the Southern United States is still rampant in today's media and they will stop at nothing than to smear and bully its people.

Not true.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since I am the person who, in 1994, alerted all African-American Mississippi legislators that Mississippi had not ratified the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution -- and since I am the person who furnished all of them with the draft language for the concurrent resolution and asked them to introduce it in the 1995 legislative session and secure its passage -- I would like to add some information that has been overlooked in the past several days. As for then-Secretary of State Dick Molpus and his employees, the Mississippi Secretary of State's office did mail out copies of Mississippi's Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 547 back in 1995 to addressees in Washington, D.C.

I know this because then-Vice President Al Gore received his copy of it and it is printed in full -- verbatim -- in the U.S. Senate's portion of the Congressional Record of Oct. 24, 1995, and was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary in that body.

Furthermore, then-Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich likewise received his copy of it, and it is summarized in the U.S. House of Representatives' portion of the Congressional Record on Dec. 5, 1995, and was likewise referred to the Committee on the Judiciary in that body.

Additionally, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, D-Miss., inserted into the Congressional Record on Sept. 13, 1995, a statement acknowledging the adoption of SCR No. 547.

I cannot imagine what might have happened to any transmittal by Mr. Molpus or his staff that would have been addressed to the Archivist of the United States back in 1995 but, clearly, Mr. Molpus and his staff did their due diligence 18 years ago as evidenced by the fact that Messrs. Gore and Gingrich obviously got their copies of SCR No. 547 during that year.

There is case law (the 1939 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Coleman v. Miller) stipulating that it is Congress that ultimately determines if a state legislature's ratification of a federal constitutional amendment is proper, timely and valid.

The National Archives (under Public Law 98-497) functions as merely a custodian of the documents and does not make such determinations -- other than simply to declare that the required number of state legislative ratifications has become known to the federal government.

If Congress were to disagree with the National Archives in such a matter, then it is Congress' opinion that would prevail in such a dispute, according to Coleman v. Miller.

On top of that, as I read Federal Register Director Charles A. Barth's letter of Feb. 7, I construe it to mean that the Mississippi Legislature's action in 1995 -- not what has happened in the past few weeks -- is what made Mississippi's ratification of the 13th Amendment official.

True, when I composed the draft resolution in 1994, I did include a reference to the Public Law, and to the Archivist of the United States, but receipt by Congress of SCR No. 547 was by far more pressing.

Let 'em keep on hating.....it won't change a thing.

My GGGGrandfather second from left.:

Unrepentant to the end: Stephen Pittman at Confederate veterans reunion, circa 1910. The flag he is holding is a family flag with the names of his brothers and cousins lost to The War. A little hard to see, but Stephen lost his right leg.

Lest we forget:

http://www.7miss.org/pittmandedication1.jpg

On July 1, 2006 at the Old Pittman Cemetery in Walthall County, Mississippi memorial services were held to dedicate five new markers for Charles, Daniel, Enoch, James and Richard Pittman. The Pittman family turned out in force to honor their ancestors and SCV Camps from two states were represented. Visitors came from as far west as Louisiana and as far east as the Carolinas. May God bless the memory of these men!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE: My brother has made a project of getting markers erected for our fallen Confederates. These were the first ones of our family, but he has gotten others put up. A special point of pride is that they are paid for by our Federal Govt. :D

Great photos by the way! :)

But, I think I see the South's problem in this photo. There's still too much American nationalism embedded here.

They've got to realize that the current model is no longer sustainable.
