Fourteenth Amendment & colorblindness

[DavidEBernstein at aol.com]

Is it fair to say that the Framers of the 14th Amendment were full of good  
intentions, but compared to James Madison and crew, they were not learned in  
political theory or law, and thus were at a loss as to how to write their  good 
intentions into law, settling instead for vague generalities that bedevil  us 
to this day?
