NPR resurfaced a 1975 interview with then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) in which he voiced support for a constitutional amendment to end court-ordered busing of black students to predominantly white schools.
“That would clearly do it. We are trying to figure out whether or not we can come up with an innovative piece of legislation which would limit the remedy and I honestly don't know whether we can come up with something constitutional,†Biden said when asked about an amendment. “I'm going to go at it through a constitutional amendment if it can't be done through a piece of legislation.
Biden suggested at the time that liberals were having a knee-jerk reaction to supporting busing as a method of school integration simply because racists were against it.
