Bizzaro paulsen. -- You just made my point.
Most of the people wanted ALL levels of government to be bound by our BOR's.
A few Senators blocked a specific amendment to that effect, but the supremacy clause still applied to the general concept.
When that basic concept was 'over-ruled' by the Barron decision [in an effort to avert civil war], - the 14th ended the controversy.. Original intent was restored.. [for awhile]
Now here we are, back again, fighting to keep our individual rights from being violated by you prohibitionists.

"You are just flat-out making things up now. The supremacy clause had NOTHING to do with applying any of the BOR to the states.
The people did NOT want all levels of government to be bound by the BOR in the US Constitution. Just the opposite, and that's why the amendment that forbade states from interfering with the rights of the people was thrown out.
The states were obsessed with their independence. They had their own state constitutions already in place to deal with the rights of the people in their respective states.
I'm done with this. I've given you cite after cite supporting my statemenrt. You've given me some crap about the Supremacy Clause. That dog don't hunt -- shoot it or sell it.
