Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock says at evening press conference night before forcing a cloture vote on passage of reintroduced John Lewis Freedom to Vote Act that opponents are marshalling old states rights arguments that Governor Orval Faubus had in response to Brown v Board of Education, used by Richard Russell of Georgia when he wanted to stand in the way of civil rights, used by Strom Thurmond when he had the largest filibuster in the history of the Senate, Warnock adding that one does not get to argue both sides, to offer praises and plaudits praises in memory and platitudes in memory of Martin Luther King and use the same kinds of states rights arguments once used against the civil rights movement.
