"The 14th was in there because the States were ignoring the BoR."The BOR didn't apply to them -- it applied solely to the federal government. Of course they were ignoring it.
Each state had it's own Bill of Rights, as the founding fathers intended.
I know you don't like the words "Supreme Law of the Land". Neither did they. That is why the 14th was necessary. To straighten out the issue before someone got shot over it. And you continue to spout that old "State BOR" cannard.
You just never learn, do you...
