IS VOTING A "RIGHT" OR AN ENTITLEMENT?
IF "VOTING" IS MERELY AN ARBITRARY ENTITLEMENT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SET FORTH IN THE 15TH AMENDMENT OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AS A "RIGHT," LIKE ALL OTHERS' RIGHTS, AND NOT SOME PREFERENTIAL QUOTA EXTENDED TO BLACKS, AS IMPLIED BY JUSTICE SCALIA'S VAINGLORIOUS AND RACIST COMMENT FROM THE BENCH DURING ORAL ARGUMENT, ON THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT'S PERTINENCE TO SOUTHERN, SCOFFLAW STATES; THEN, THE U.S. CONSTITUTION ITSELF ACCORDS "RIGHTS" TO NO ONE, AND ALL THAT IS SET FORTH THEREIN IS JUST AN ARBITRARY ENTITLEMENT! ONLY THE U.S. SUPREME COURT DETERMINES "CITIZENS' RIGHTS," ACCORDING TO SCALIA, BY JUDICIAL FIAT; THUS, ELEVATING ITSELF OVER ITS CREATOR, THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, ITSELF! YOU'RE SO VAIN!
