Warren Earl Davidson

“ The last time we needed to defend our Constitution against a domestic enemy, we fought a civil war. And at the conclusion of that Civil War we passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments that make clear that no State is so sovereign that they can deprive their citizens of equal protection of the laws. ”

“ When it comes to elections, that means one person gets one vote. It doesn’t mean that other citizens can dilute the votes of other citizens and deprive them of equal protection. And it doesn’t mean that a State can do that by law or by practice. ”

“ The people of America, tens of millions of them who came out to vote, have been unheard by this body and by far too many courts. We need to show them the respect they are due by the Constitution of the United States of America, the Constitution that we fought to sustain to end the era of Jim Crow to pass civil rights legislation, the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, and so many other pieces of jurisprudence. ”
