That is correct. According to the late Judge Robert Bork, the recognized leading constitutional scholar of his time, the correct way to interpret and apply the Constitution is as written and originally understood and intended. Having done thus, I find the above assertions are correct.
I also assert that the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments are not law. This assertion includes the 18th, 19th, 23th, 24th, and 26th Amendments.
Upon what rationale do you base these assertions?
I base my assertions on the notion that only Congress can legislate.
The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and the 18th, 19th, 23th, 24th, and 26th Amendments have this in common.
Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
