13. I agree with post #6. The Constitution leaves matters not explicitly

covered by the Constitution and its Amendments to the States.

In the case of segregation, Southern laws and practices were in violation of the 14th Amendment, which uses the explicit language "NO STATE SHALL" deprive any citizen of equal protection by the law.

The recent Kangaroo Supreme Court ruling might apply to Federal cases in Vermont, but not to most cases involving Vermont state laws, which include most criminal laws and criminal court procedures, such as rules of evidence.
