So your claim is that the 14th Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause, the most controversial clause in the amendment at the time of its adoption *precisely because* everyone knew that it would make the individual protections of the Bill of Rights applicable against the states, *does not* grant the People the individual protections afforded by the Bill of Rights against infringement by the states? So states can, say, take your private property without having to pay you just compensation? And you want a Supreme Court that allows states to take private property without having to pay the owner just compensation? My word.
