The Rehnquist court had already started the unraveling of the incorporation theory. Many so-called settled precedents have been unraveled over time to bring law within the limitations imposed upon congress and federal judiciary by the letter of the constitution.

Yup, Brown v Board of Ed certainly unravelled the yarn.
