So then you’re saying that the 14th Amendment’s restriction on States from “depriv[ing] any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” is not being violated when state lawmakers pass State Statutes which a) contradict the State Constitution, and b) are enforced, with full force and authority of the law, to the point where their implementation is in-practice an amendment/revision of the State Constitution?

It seems doubtful that US Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 13, § 241 would apply to a violation of a state law or constitution.

It also seems unlikely that the 14th ammendment would change that, since the standard SCOTUS interprtation of it is “it means whatever the hell we want it to mean at any given time”** and I doubt they will want it to mean what you want it to mean.

** - Same as the rest of the Constitution

Although you are correct in the plain reading of the constitution, you would not only need a prosecutor and police who support the constitution, you would need a series of judges all the way to the Supremes who support the constitution. You don't have that by a long shot. The judges of this country are as corrupt as the “citizens of the world” who run this country.

What would you do with the corrupt judges who go to work every day with the idea that they rule the country however they want to and have progressed beyond the constitution, if based on nothing else but the unconstitutional decisions made by other judges over the decades.
