The Constitution no longer means what it says.

It won't if the incorporationists have their way.

"Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the State governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original Constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had Congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the Constitutions of the several States by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language."--Barron v. Mayor & City Council of Baltimore, 32 U.S. 243 (1833)

[Repeal 16-17]

You do know that Barron v. Baltimore came down 35 years before the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted.

It won't if the incorporationists have their way.

They already did. It's called the 14th Amendment. SCOTUS has just been reluctant to declare its meaning binding until each enumerated right is reviewed individually.
