In that case the Court said it was an "invidious" discrimination by the State of New York toward those who could not read and write the English language to make that a requirement of voting. There is no invidious discrimination here. because people are treated exactly alike. Furthermore. the majority opinion in that case states that it is not the function of the Supreme Court. and it was not the function of the Supreme Court in that case. to interpret the Constitution and determine whether or not the literacy test of New York was valid under the equal protection clause. The Senator from Massachusetts may believe that that is a proper interpretation of the Constitution. but the Senator from North Carolina thinks it is not. It is the duty of the Supreme Court to interpret or review the Constitution of the United States. and they abdicated that duty in the Morgan case.
