You are correct. But the Founders didnt foresee the 14th Amendment, a terribly flawed piece of law. The flaw of the 14th Amendment is the same flaw that exist within the entire constitution and that is that judicial activist read in to the amendment that which they wish to find there.

True, but the authors of the 14th should have known enough to specifically say “This applies to former slaves and Indians ONLY.” Then again, they couldn’t foresee the wretched villainy of Ted Kennedy and his band of Democrat demons.

To some extent, true. However, had the authors made it impossible to miss-translate, the court would have been much curtailed in it's mischief. The 1866 civil rights act was far clearer on the issue than was the subsequent 14th Amendment.
