whilst i believe that the BOR should apply to the states,

There is a difference between believing in principles and having preferences as to how they are enforced. For in having the power to enforce a right, government then has the power to violate it. The higher, larger, and more remote is that level of enforcement, the less recourse a citizen has against tyranny.

Accordingly, please tell me the operational difference between FedGov enforcing the BOR against the states and the UN enforcing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights against nations.

at this point and speed down the ole slippery slope there is none...in the original understanding, We the People controlled fedgov, and so long as we were a moral population, it would resist the upside down condition that we now 'enjoy'...

if that made any sense...
