Buckley Critiques Warren Court on Equal Protection Limits
W F Buckley Jr presents a forceful critique of the Warren Court's use of the Equal Protection Clause to curb state apportionment powers. He argues the Court misreads the 14th Amendment and ignores Section 2 of the 17th Amendment, insisting the framers intended states to control legislative representation. He cites historical ratification debates and warns of federal overreach. He notes the quotes are from Justices Harlan Stewart and Clark in opposition.
