Yes, Republicans do want to clarify that they're against that.
Not the all people being created equal thing, mind you. They'll say they're OK with that. But then they'll say that everyone went about it the wrong way by trumping State's Rights.
... conveniently glossing over the fact that if State's Rights hadn't been trumped there would be segregation and anti-miscagenation laws on the books in several states TODAY.
So they'll say "Judicial Activism" and "Encroaching Federal Instrusion On The States", when they mean "Our backwood-ass aging pool of voters are still wishing Hoover had been able to discredit King".
And this isn't a Democrats=Good Republicans=Bad thing, this is a Liberals=Good Conservatives=Bad thing. When Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, a LOT of white conservative Democrats in the South became Republicans, and the Party of Lincoln became the Party of The Southern Strategy.
