Bill of Rights for the 21st Century

[Voronwë the Faithful]

I've added a new a Section 4 to the Sixth New Bill of Right (the 33rd Amendment):

Section 4
All citizens of the United States who are otherwise qualified by law to vote at any election by the people in any State, Territory, district, county, city, parish, township, school district, municipality, or other territorial subdivision, shall be entitled and allowed to vote at all such elections, without distinction of race, color, or previous condition of servitude; any constitution, law, custom, usage, or regulation of any State or Territory, or by or under its authority, to the contrary notwithstanding. The United States has the power to regulate this provision to the full extent provided by the provisions of 52 U.S. Code § 10101 (The Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended.)

[N.E. Brigand]

​Fifth (33nd Amendment)
Section 1
In any civil action brought in any court in the United States and all the states alleging that a law enforcement officer violated the rights of any individual, it shall not be a defense or immunity that the defendant was acting in good faith, or that the defendant believed, reasonably or otherwise, that his or her conduct was lawful at the time when the conduct was committed.

Every few days there's some new outrage (here's the latest example) that shows the need for ths one.

That's a horrible examble! Which is to say, it is a perfect example of why it is necessary.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Texas has single-handedly demonstrated by this is necessary.

I'm going to put this here, even though it doesn't quite fit, for lack of a better place to put it. But I think this is the best thread I have seen on Twitter/X.







The last one is perfect. And so sad.
