During the segment, he proposed a sweeping and controversial idea: that all laws enacted before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be considered unconstitutional due to their origins in a period of systematic disenfranchisement and inequality. Mystal argued that many laws, including the Immigration and Nationality Act, should be repealed, asserting that past legislation reflects an outdated and oppressive mindset.<\/p>\n<p>His remarks were met with agreement from co-host Sunny Hostin, which sparked a significant response. Critics highlighted the potential consequences of MystalS proposal, pointing out that it would also nullify critically important civil rights legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and even constitutional amendments concerning slavery and citizenship.the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/idaho-stops-lethal-injection-executions-after-eight-failed-attempts-on-death-row-inmate\/\" title=\"Idaho halts lethal injection executions after eight unsuccessful attempts on death row inmate\">discussion raises broader questions<\/a> about how historical context influences law and the challenges of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-upholds-law-enabling-tribes-to-bar-non-native-families-from-adopting-native-children\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Upholds Law Enabling Tribes To Bar Non-Native Families From Adopting Native Children\">addressing past injustices<\/a> in the present legal framework.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Ah, Elie Mystal.

Thanks, Elie!<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that Mystal doesn&rsquo;t hate the laws passed before 1965 as if it were a real dividing line in our jurisprudence. What liberals like this actually hate is America &mdash; and, by wiping the slate clean, his thought experiment would abolish America, the thing the left seems to hate most. (Right after God, naturally.) He hates the laws and the land, although he pretends to hate them under the pretense of just hating the white men who wrote the laws he&nbsp;<em>really<\/em> doesn&rsquo;t like. That&rsquo;s somehow better under our modern thought rubric, sadly.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose that Mystal has to play at believing this because he wrote a high-concept book about his racist view on the iniquities of our past, but what&rsquo;s the excuse of everyone on &ldquo;The View,&rdquo; nodding along like puppets in awe of this premise?<\/p>\n<p>Do they not know what foolishness they&rsquo;re agreeing to? Are they going to ask how we&rsquo;re going to repeal and reenact every law ever passed before 1965? And do they understand that, when you adopt the moral position that everyone before a few years back had everything wrong, that eventually the woke reaper comes for you, too?<\/p>\n<p>Also, it&rsquo;s again no surprise that Mystal is a purveyor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/students-want-professor-to-resign-after-expressing-concern-over-anti-white-sentiment-on-campus\/\" title=\"Students Want Professor To Resign After Expressing Concern Over Anti-White Sentiment On Campus\">anti-white racism<\/a> in the purported name of so-called anti-racism; this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mean-female-harris-voter-learns-nasty-lesson-dems-savage-real-time-not-enough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/joy-reid-laughs-guest-slams-clarence-thomas-describes-mutilated-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/negroes-msnbc-guest-says-republicans-want-black-candidates-lack-independent-thoughts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">racket<\/a> and he&rsquo;s quite proud of it.

We\u2019ve certainly felt your absence since the &#8220;vibe shift&#8221; in November&#8217;s elections brought us a change at MSNBC, leaning towards more rational yet still progressive perspectives. How have we missed you? Let me enumerate the reasons\u2014ten in total, as outlined in your new book, &#8220;Bad Law.&#8221; (Actually, it\u2019s a \u201cbaker\u2019s dozen\u201d since you also include a chapter titled \u201cInterlude: Why Is the Second Amendment So Violent and Stupid?\u201d Bonus content!) Mystal, who graduated from Harvard Law and contributes to left-leaning platforms like MSNBC and The Nation, appeared on \u201cThe View\u201d on Tuesday to discuss &#8220;Bad Law,&#8221; but he proposed an even more radical idea: why not abolish every regulation enacted during the first 189 years of our nation? Predictably, host Sunny Hostin\u2014who is also a lawyer\u2014nodded in agreement. Hostin mentioned the Immigration and Nationality Act that was used by President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration to revoke visas for some foreign students involved in violent campus protests supporting Hamas against Israel.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main legal provisions they rely on is 8 U.S. Code 1227 which states that an alien can be deported if their presence or activities are believed to pose serious adverse consequences for U.S. foreign policy. Mystal argued this should be repealed\u2014not because he made a compelling case\u2014but because he believes all laws should be overturned. He stated that every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be considered presumptively unconstitutional due to America functioning as an apartheid state prior to that act.<\/p>\n<p>Mystal expressed disdain for laws established by old white men decades ago without considering their historical context or significance today. However, there\u2019s a significant flaw in his argument: if we were to discard all American laws before 1965\u2014including landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964\u2014it would likely backfire on liberal agendas.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, this line of thinking raises questions about constitutional amendments as well; it could potentially nullify critical changes such as those abolishing slavery or ensuring citizenship rights for individuals born or naturalized in America post-Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, Mystal&#8217;s animosity isn&#8217;t solely directed at outdated laws but reflects broader discontent with America&#8217;s foundational principles themselves\u2014a sentiment echoed by many liberals today who seem eager to erase historical legacies rather than engage with them critically. His views raise important questions about how society reconciles its past while striving toward progress without discarding essential legal frameworks established over time<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2418880,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-View.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[23132,32171,50526,52692,32639],"class_list":["post-2418879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-civil-rights-act","tag-political-commentary","tag-racism-2","tag-sonny-hostin","tag-the-view"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-View.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2418879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2418879"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2418879\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2418885,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2418879\/revisions\/2418885"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2418880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2418879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2418879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2418879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
