My point remains, but for illegal methodology used to ratify the 14th, we would not have the badly worded 14th, and we would therefore not have the bad consequences which have been attached to it by liberal activist judges.

The 14th is just one of the bad consequences of the civil war which we are still living with today. One of the other is the consolidation of power in Washington DC and New York which is the primary problem we are currently affected with right now.

Also, you cite a 40 year gap, but you don't seem to be taking into account that the liberals ran with their power for those 40 years and it was not until Teddy Roosevelt started addressing issues of monopoly and "crony capitalism" that anything started to be done about the problem.

"and it was not until Teddy Roosevelt started addressing issues"

Now you're just picking fights.
