A democracy of 'People' has an absolute right to vote.

We have said that in a democratic form of government the Bottom or the People constitute the essence of democracy. A democracy is a government "of People" and "for people", so how on earth can voting laws be held not to be necessary? If the right to vote is impaired in any way ,shape or form, its not a democracy. To justify the vitiation of a voting law by saying " times have changed, we don't need them any longer" or similar words to that same effect, is like saying "we don't need laws or decisions that "declare that we are Free and Equal" either, because " times have changed " and we now "live in a different world. Laws declaring that we are Free and Equal are no longer necessary". Wow, and this from the "learned brethren of the Supreme Court"? That's what happens with Party loyalists who are more attuned to their Party ideology than to real democratic values. We still have problems with Freedom and Equality and we will continue to have them. We will also have problems with voting rights. Notice the immediate implementation of new voting regulations in some states and the 'invitation' to Gerrymander. How can we be an example of a free democratic Nation if our legal concentration is focused on Party conflicts or conflicts between Federal power and State power? How can we be an example to the International community? Unfortunately, the problem is a human problem. Its the people in positions of power that seem to lose their humanity when it comes to politics, power and money. Someone asked, "do states have a right to be treated Equally"? Hell, states are not people, they are not natural human beings. Rousseau said they were "fictions". That question really misses the boat. Its not about State power and its not about Federal power, its about human beings in a 'condition of togetherness' and their absolute right to vote and to be Free and Equal. Where are our Statesmen?
