"States could and did infringe many, if not all, the rights mentioned in the BoR. Now they are applicable to the states."
Except that most states have constitutions with the 2nd added to them.
"Your view or my view of unconstitutionality are not the operative definitions of the term."
Really? To quote what has been asked many times before "what part of shall not infringe do you not understand"?
