Permalinkclaimed on Tuesday that virtually all laws passed prior to 1965 should be
considered presumptively unconstitutional.
Mystal made the assertion during a conversation on the ABC midday talk show
The View while discussing his new book, Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are
Ruining America and he argued that any law passed prior to the 1965 Voting
Rights Act should be thrown out because until that law passed, we were an
apartheid country.

One of the laws you write about is playing out right now the Immigration
and Nationality Act, cohost Sunny Hostin said. Now, this administration is
using this statute to justify the detentions and possible deportations,
actually, of visa and Green-Card holders who they seek to deem a threat to
U.S. foreign policy. What do you make of the administrations use of the act,
and, more broadly, is Trump really setting up a First Amendment showdown,
which is what Whoopis been talking about?
Yes, absolutely, Mystal declared. One of my premises for the book is that
every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be presumptively
unconstitutional, right? Because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we were
functionally an apartheid country. Not everybody who lived her could vote
here.
So why should I give a **** about some law that some old white man passed in
the 1920s? he asked.
Mystal followed up his appearance on The View with a racially-charged post
on X claiming that his book seems to have pissed off the white wing so, as
usual, Im doing something right.
Mystal often appears on MSNBC, and even joined network host and former
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele just two days prior to
joining The View. During that appearance, he claimed that the Trump
administrations efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens and gang members
amounted to fascism.
