    In a recent dissent, Amy Coney Barrett wrote that the right to vote and serve on juries belonged "only to virtuous citizens." Her opinion also suggests that all civic rights are subject to virtue-based exceptions.

        In her opinion she makes no mention of how such "virtuous citizen" restrictions were used after the Civil War and the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments to deny African Americans the right to vote.

        At a time when the right to vote is under extreme attack, we should be critical of those who endorse outdated notions rooted in white supremacy as a justification for denying millions of Americans the right to vote.

        Nope. The opposite. In her dissenting opinion on a Second Amendment case, she said rights should be separate from government tests of "virtue."

        Was she referring to people who aren't felons? You're not really putting this into context.
