When you hear a Republican talk about the Constitution being fixed in stone:
https://www.upi.com/Archives/1987/05/06/Justice-Marshall-Framers-devised-defective-government/2012547272000/?otda=1
'The government they devised was defective from the start, requiring several amendments, a civil war and momentous social transformation to attain the system of constitutional government and its respect for the individual freedoms and human rights we hold as fundamental today.'
Blacks won the right to vote under the 15th Amendment in 1870. Women's suffrage was achieved in 1920.
'The men who gathered in Philadelphia in 1787 could not have envisioned these changes,' said Marshall, the court's first black justice. 'They could not have imagined, not would they have accepted, that the document they were drafting would one day be construed by a Supreme Court to which had been appointed a woman and the descendant of an African slave.'
'I plan to celebrate the bicentennial of the Constitution as a living document,' Marshall said, 'including the Bill of Rights and the other amendments protecting individual freedoms and human rights.'

When they talk about it being fixed in stone, they are promoting Jim Crow or worse.

How many Amendments before Blacks (or non-Whites) were recognised to vote?

How many more Amendments before Women (about 50% of the adult population) were recognised to vote?

How many more Amendments are needed, and how soon, to reach a good level of civilization?

That's crazy talk. Giving chattel the right to vote?!
Is that like a socialist idea?! Fortunately Rep. Rodney Garcia (R) knows what to do with socialists. He calls them enemies of the free state and would shoot them like in Vietnam.
Everyone knows only wealthy land owing white men have the brains to vote.
My GOD letting chattel vote?!
</ sarchasism off>
Unfortunately that isn't as sarcastic as it should be. What many who don't live in the USA - and some who do but have never been outside a deep blue area - don't know is those ideas are deeply and fundamentally held by many in the bible belt and deep south.

What is also not known is that the early white settlers of the deep south were either Celts or Cajuns. And therefore by definition not WASP's.

Finally slaves outnumbered the whites south of the Mason - Dixon line. Perhaps rather terrifying to consider the people who will out vote you and run your government after you lose the war are the very same ones you were whipping to pick more cotton just a couple of short months ago.

That is almost certainly wrong.
Until very recent times the south of Ireland (Eire) was almost 100% Roman Catholic, with a weekly attendance of Mass at 81%. Even now it is 78.3% Catholic.

If they were Protestants then they are usually "Ulster Scots" from Northern Ireland. As I said, Celts.

I was worried by that, too. But a side-panel in Wikipedia gives the raw immigration figures before 1790 as

Ulster Scot-Irish	135,000
Ireland			  8,000
The Ulster Scot-Irish grouping had been deliberately moved ('planted') from Scotland to Ireland as part of the (Protestant) English takeover of Ireland a century before. Nowadays, the Ulster Scot-Irish heritage is overwhelmingly concentrated in the north-east of the island of Ireland: the south and west is overwhelmingly Catholic.

One explanation might be that the Ulster Scot-Irish were originally distributed throughout Ireland, and those who found themselves in the south and west (and quite possibly unwelcome) moved onwards to America as colonisation progressed. Nowadays, when we think of Irish immigration to Chicago and New York, we're thinking of a movement of Catholics from the south in the middle of the nineteenth century - 50 years later.

A few years ago, Scottish historian Neil Oliver put forward a powerful case for a link between the Scottish Clan (kinship) system and the early foundation of the Ku Klux Klan.

Or perhaps the ambiguity over which southern is being implied, Ireland or the USA, er the author meant "The Irish who settled in the South were ..." English, USA or King's is dang ambiguous at times.

Just in case anyone wonders why Yap is suddenly not very happy with "Mittens"

Edit: The bit solely about Mitt Romney voting to convict has been rewritten into the piece about Trump's acquittal.
