How does your unnamed Congressman speak for the House or Senate? After all the proposals were not all adopted. The selection does NOT claim that the BoR applies to the states and refers to the BoR within some state constitutions. It being difficult to read perhaps you might point out where you believe it does.

Not only did you not dispute the facts I posted but you still have not addressed the SC ruling which explicitly says the BoR does NOT apply to the states. And the greatest jurist America ever produced, John Marshall, led the Court then. No one, other than Hamilton, was as great a legal mind as his nor was he surpassed in knowledge of the history of the Constitution and its ratification.

First Congress. Constitutional Convention. The "un-named speaker", had you chosen to look up Elliot's debates, was James Madison speaking in the House of Representitives.

If, and this is a mighty big if, you had actually read what I posted you would have had the answer to your question. The BoR applies regardless of later SC rulings. Despite your heroworship of Marshall, he got that one wrong.

It happens. Get over it.

Here is even more you won't bother to read...
