As the Supreme Court had indicated out, federal power to protect all constitutionally enumerated privileges and immunities by stopping the states from abridging such rights which Section 1 of the 14th Amendment prohibited the states from doing was intended to have the effect of strengthening such rights.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
The problem is that we now have a corrupt federal government that is not lifiting a finger to strengthen such rights. This is exemplified by 1st Amendment protection of religious expression now being wrongly ignored by pro-gay activist states that are using PC, constutitionally unenumerated protections for the gay agenda to trump constitutionally enumerated religious expression.
Again, nobody knows what the ratifiers meant by the P&I clause in the 14A and as such, SCOTUS has no legitimate constitutional basis for such expansion of federal power. But once this unconstitutional "Corruption Doctrine" began in trickles, sooner or later the dam broke and we got the feds interfering with every area of our lives including banning prayer and the Bible in schools, forced integration, prohibiting state anti-abortion and anti-gay laws and on and on.
Unconstitutional federal acts are, by definition, acts of tyranny and must be resisted at every level.
