That is a Supreme Court minority interpretation. I'm only concerned with the Text of the Constitution here. Let's not get off on some whacky interpretation of the 14th Amendment, that it "applies the bill of rights to the States" Hugo Black is full of it, and no Judge is Perfect. The Court only "selectively" applies the Bill of Rights to the states, anyway. That's part of the problem with the 14th. It's so vague they can do anything they want. That's another thread.

Speaking of wacky theories, anyone who wants a true view of your 'constitutional' principles should read this thread:

The Squalid 14th Amendment [Free Republic] Address:http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a38ae1fc86628.htm

-------- A number of us discussed the 14th in detail on that thread , Akston...

I found your post # 87 quite interesting, where you said a state has a right to establish a religion, or ban free speech.
