FABULOUS research! This debate was recently had on this website, and I wish I had had this nugget back then. Another reason to wonder if the 14th really has anything to do with the BOR -- nowhere in the 14th amend is the BOR even mentioned.
Who here would like to live in a state which could decide what stories newspapers printed, what religion you could legally practice, when and if you could peaceably assemble, etc...? What if your state made it illegal for you leave and move elsewhere? Is mob rule (majority rule with no protection for individual rights) something we should advocate?
