We already have the 14th amendment. We don't need a right or a federal power to enforce it, made up out of a penumbra, it's already there and the Supreme Court is refusing to enforce it.
Personally I'd rather the SC first affirm an individual right, getting that applied to the states should be easy after that.
What I find particularly embittering is reading some of the junk the court did grant cert on. One case could result in a bunch of convicted murders not getting executed, simply because a judge, rather than a jury, imposed the sentence, as provided for under various state laws. This is not a Constitutional question, IMHO. The Court has declared that the penumbral rights of criminals, convicted by a jury as the Constitution specifies, are more important than the rights of upstanding, law abiding, individuals such as Silveira and the co-appellees.
The situtation is really begining to be alot like the one described in this document
That is why I suggested incorporating 2A after the manner Roe vs Wade did in over-riding the doctrine.
Somebody help me out here if I'm wrong about that.
