Deep 6 made this fine summation at #21 :
A state cannot outlaw freedom of speech.
It cannot outlaw the ownership of firearms.
It cannot deny the freedom of the practicing of a specific religion privately or in congregation.
It cannot deny legal due process. Etc etc etc etc.
It can pass legislation, change it's constitution or attempt to regulate those very things; and it can force those in that state to comply, until the matter of conflict between these laws and our Constitution's mandates are resolved. - 21 -

Can we assume your failure refute the above is an admission that you were wrong about the 14th?
No because the 14th Amendment was not in the intentions of the Founders, much like the 16th and 17th which not only changed the Constitution, it invalidated much of what they had planned for this nation as seen not only in the Federalist papers, but the Anti-Federalist papers as well. As pointed out previously, the stateS had these notices in their constitutions and until the 14th Amendment it had never been challenged. Now considering that many of these documents were written during or after the framing of the Constitution (because it would be folly to put something into their state documents that they knew would quickly be overturned if challenged in court), I imagine that their writers knew what the Founders had in mind better than you
