I am sorry to have be the one to tell you, but your side lost the war back in 1865. The federal government has been the final authority for the proctection of all civil rights since the ratification of the fourteenth amendement.
Interesting. Perhaps you could tell me when the Supreme Court decided this. Let's start with the 5th Amendment. Then for laughs, let's discuss when the Supreme Court decided the 1st Amendment applied to the states. Did they decide either one of these Amendments applied to the states the first time they saw cases that dealt with these Amendments (here's a hint, they did not)? Since that's the case why not? Surely they understood what 'conservatives' today believe the 14th Amendment meant. Surely these esteemed Justices knew what the 14th Amendment was meant to apply to. In fact the Supreme Court did not 'find' that the 5th Amendment applied to the states until 1897. They did not 'find' the 1st Amendment applied to the states until the 1920s. And yet both issues had been brought before the Supreme Court before those two cases reversed prior decisions. Don't start down this path. You will lose. Trust me.
But if you decide to persist, I will give you time to go look at the history of this false incorporation theory
