It's always fascinating to see the prohibitionist fundies argue that the 14th Amendment has secret meanings that enable incorporation doctrines to be applied to it, -- doctrines that were unknown to the states that ratified it.

"doctrines that were unknown to the states that ratified it."

Not only unknown to the states, but to the Congress and the USSC! For 100 years after it was ratified!

They all still thought the BOR applied only to federal government. The unenlightened fools!
