"Many things we are plagued with today - much judicial activism - originates from the 14th Amendment"

I agree. The USSC (ab)uses the 14th the same way Congress (ab)uses the Commerce Clause.

Akston wants to repeal the 'squalid' 14th, enabling the States to ignore the personal rights of the 1st.

Paulsen wants States to have the power to ignore ALL of the personal rights outlined in the Constitution.

They display mind-boggling myopia, while prattling on about the, -- " Many things we are plagued with today -- "

That's a lie. I've said it needs to be modified, because the vindictive zealots who hated the South (remind you of anyone you know?) overreached.

"They display mind-boggling myopia"

Your myopic South-bashing doesn't cloud your ability to see the root cause of any of today's problems, nor cause you to misrepresent others' opinions, does it?

You say that rp wants States to have the power to ignore ALL of the personal rights outlined in the Constitution.
Assuming this is not a false accusation,

Having the power to do something, and doing it, are two different things. I've already cited an example of a State protecting freedom of religion with an even higher standard than the 1st Amendment. The US's is not the only Constitution out there.
