[You Dirty Rats]

The 1954 Decision that stated the 14th doesn't apply to the District was a companion decision to Brown v. Board of Education. In that decision, the Court ruled that it was inconceivable that anyone would have intended that the children in the district would have less protection than children living in States. The Court therefore found a 5th Amendment violation for the District. If the Court had not done this, the only place segregation of schools by race would have been legal was the District!!!!!

ISN'T IT JUST SPECIAL and IRONIC that THIS decision was cited by THIS judge to justify giving FEWER rights under the 2nd Amendment to Citizens in the district???

So here the Warren Court, the Original Activist Court, decided the Citizens of the District were protected against segregation, but the same logic was used by another liberal activist judge to conclude the opposite concerning the right to bear arms!!!!

In other words, you are protected by the Bill of Rights in the District only if the particular right in question is one the liberals approve.

Congressman Billybob & XJarhead: I can't remember this companion case to Brown v. Board, and since I'm not a lawyer, I'm relying on memory from a course I took in 1981! Please let me know if this is correct.

I HATE ACTIVIST JUDGES!!!!

Congressman Billybob & XJarhead: I can't remember this companion case to Brown v. Board,

Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U.S. 497 (1954).

[Congressman Billybob]

Your memory is correct. The companion case to Brown did exactly what you recalled, it extended the ruling to D.C., even though that wwas not a "state."
