The Hon. Judge Perez' documentation of the illegitimacy of the 14th Amendment.
The 14th Amendment gave the Supreme Court veto power over all state legislatures. It has created and subjected us all to a judicial oligarchy, destroying republican rule by hundreds of state legislators spread throughout the nation beholden to the people. We have rule by 9 central justices and the ACLU instead. We got busing, affirmative action, Title IX, "civil rights" abuses, sexual harassment frivolous law suits, etc. etc. etc. from the good old 14th amendment. Soon, we'll get women in combat and in professional football from it. We almost got gays in the Boy Scouts from it this year. Casey Martin just won the right to ride a cart in the PGA tour from it. The words "equal protection" and "privileges and immunities" can mean any thing, to any lawyer or Justice. Those words are just high-minded bleeding heart idealistic rhetoric meant to open the path for Federal intrusion during Reconstruction. It's bad law. The one time it came in handy - during the election of 2000, the liberals squealed like they'd been bitten by a snake. 99% of the time it's a tool of vindictive hypocrits and demagogues, sourpusses and spoiled sports, who think fate gave them a bumb rap, and that everyone except them got to where they are unjustly. It's a way around consent of the governed. And it was indeed never legally ratified. Help spread the word!
