In 1959 Justice Frankfurter declared on behalf of the Supreme Court:

"We have held from the beginning and uniformly that the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment does not apply to the States any of the provisions of the first ten amendments as such."

"The relevant historical materials demonstrate conclusively that Congress and the members of the legislatures of the ratifying States did not contemplate that the 14th Amendment was a shorthand incorporation of the first eight amendments making them applicable as explicit restrictions upon the States."

Bartkus v. Illinois 359 US 121, 124 (1959)

In 1959 Justice Frankfurter declared on behalf of the Supreme Court:

Frankfurter had it wrong. Frankfurter was a progressive who loved government power. He was appointed by FDR in 1939.

I have read speeches made by the Senate sponsor of the Fourteenth Amendment. He clearly stated the purpose of the amendment was to have the first Eight amendments apply to the states.
