I am very pleased with the current state of 14th amendment jurisprudence

We disagree there. The current state exaggerates the establishment clause at the expense of free exercise, it incorporates parts of the Fifth, but not others, it permits outrageous gun regulation by local government by failure to enforce the Second, it makes a joke of the Tenth... in short, selective incorporation is inconsistent and an abomination of justice. You like it that way, probably because you have a deficit in understanding the operation of Federalism under natural law.

I'm just not a fan of government by fiat.

The jury is out on Justice Roberts. I don't know what to make of him. Time will tell.

I agree that selective incorporation presents some challenges. I hope that eventually we get to complete incorporation of the first eight amendments. And I think we will. We need to get a second amendment case up to the top.
