And your answer just begs the question "Obvious to who?" If it is obvious to everyone then it would never become a law in the firstplace.
You're not allowed to decide if a law is unjust in Fredtoast's world, hence you would support Jim Crowe. Odd, I asked you directly about that in my reply and yet you never responded. The mind bottles as to why.
