If Texas vs White is to be taken seriously,as of April 12,1869,should the whole idea of reconstruction been outlawed by the supreme court? If according to T. vs W. States are States period,and had always been States,should not have elections with full voting rights been held? Does the 14th amendment disqualification clause fall to the T v W judgement.

It appears the the federal government was trying to have it both ways,stating in T v W that the States were always States and had never left the union and were indistructable,but the on the other hand rejecting the elected congressmen from certain States and declaring that certain States are military districts subject to control of congress.
