This gal must have miised that day in ConLaw when they talked about the 14th Amendment Incorporation Doctrine. It made the Bill of Rights specifically applicable to the states. She is a dolt and will get this seat only because of affirmative action, not because she is qualified.

My understanding is that the Bill of Rights was not applied to the states at one time, but in increments from about 1895 to 1970. It may be that a couple of the amendments have never been applied yet to the states, including the Second.
