You also appear to ignore the fact that the 14th Amendment was clearly an assault on the whole fabric of the Constitution, and was responsible for anchor babies, abortion, outlawing public religious expression, the removal of State Legislative checks & balances, school bussing & most of the rest of the egregious expansion of judicial activism. We obviously do not define "Conservatism" in the same way.

Years ago when I started on my journey as a Republican, these issues were first and foremost among my concerns, and every time I learned more about them, I realized that the abuses all led back to the 14th amendment.

Somehow the 14th amendment had opened up the floodgates of Judicial abuse, and created policies that were hated by the people of America, but imposed on them anyways, and against their will.

The latter portion of the 14th amendment grants too much power to judges to "interpret" things in ways that should not be allowed. It was a messy written vehicle for chaos to enter our system.

Aborted journey you mean, since you veered-off into some weirdness which says, "the devil Lincoln didn't free the slaves but he did enslave the free."

That's Southern Democrat -- Dixiecrat -- not Republican.

None of that was original intent of those who wrote, passed & ratified it.

Yes, Earl Warren was a California Republican, so our side must take some of the blame, but most of his court were Democrats appointed by FDR, and the one genuine conservative, Rehnquist, voted no on Roe v Wade.
The other "no", White, was one of the the last of a now extinct breed -- conservative Democrat.
