So then you believe, as Paul does, that State governments can, for example, eliminate your 2nd Amendment Rights or 4th Amendment Rights? (which he specifically wrote about and sided with the States in the cases of Heller and Chicago vs. McDonald)?
The issue is what does the actual Constitution - not the “living” one - do. Go read the Bill of Rights, the 14th, and, especially, Freund’s book and get back to me. The short answer, however, is that the “incorporation” doctrine was simply invented by judges.
