"Only the most biased of liberals think that accusation can stand on its own."

Sorry, Tench. That is exactly how that phrase was used for decades. Because many states, and not just in the South*, had laws on the books which restricted where blacks could live, work and other things. And when Ike started to change things, the defense was always he was interfering with "states' rights".

*Outside of the South, deed restrictions that didn't allow a property to be sold to blacks were common. Many still exist, but haven't been enforceable in decades.
