Good article. This koan permits legislating from the bench regardless of the clear intent of the Constitution.

This koan permits legislating from the bench regardless of the clear intent of the Constitution.

Which "clear intent" are you talking about?

A 14th Amendment with limited scope and no recourse to Federal courts under the BOR?

OR

A 14th Amendment that fully incorporates the BOR and injects federal power to protect individuals against State laws?

That's the problem.
