I learned about incorporation of the Bill of Rights via the 14th Amendment in a semester long class devoted only to that, and we barely scratched the surface. There is simply no way to summarize it in a paragraph or two.

As a practical matter, it's a done deal. It's been done for many decades. That doesn't explain it, but for purposes of this discussion I don't really want to start lecturing on the history of incorporation.

Probably the only way around it would be 1) a series of constitutional amendments or 2) a revolution.

Going at it through invidual justices or judges isn't going to work. No president gets to appoint more than one or two, some appoint none, and you can't really predict what they'll do once they're on the bench. Once there they have tenure for life.

" . . . you can't really predict what they'll do once they're on the bench."

Yes, that brings us full circle, relating to my original question on the resolution of grievances. Thank you for your remarks.
