History Rhymes . The 14th Amendment at 155

"[H]istory repeats her tale unconsciously, and goes off into a mystic rhyme"*

155 years since the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution passed, what was protected by that amendment is once again under attack from the right flank.

The promises of liberty and equality under law in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution must, over and over, be defended from the forces of authoritarianism and anti-democracy among our own people.
