A human life amendment is merely an attempt to work around a politicized court.

As was the 14th Amendment. Unless you actually think Dredd Scott was decided in a vacuum?

As was the 14th Amendment. Unless you actually think Dredd Scott was decided in a vacuum?

But according to your theory, the 14th amendment merely says the exact same thing as the previously existing law.

If States were ignoring previous law, (Which you claim said the exact same thing) why would they pay attention to the 14th amendment?

No, it makes no sense whatsoever unless the 14th amendment represents a CHANGE in existing law.
