To illustrate that example and to expose the unconstitutionality of the Fourteenth Amendment...
Did I miss something? How on earth can an amendment be "unconstitional"?
It is AMMENDING the Constituion.
It is the document that defines consitutionality.

You missed the 10TH AMENDMENT:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
Just because it is written that the states can't do certain things, it does not mean that the federal government can do them, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ENUMERATED IN THE CONSTITUTION.

If it is followed when in fact it was not properly ratified. If not properly ratified, then it is not law, even though it is being enforced. The act of enforcing it as the supreme law of the land would be unconstitutional, since it would not be the supreme law of the land.

We seem to be lost in the same big box store - let me know if you get an intelligent answer.
