"until the Supremes decided that they didn't like that idea"

I was wondering why the USSC never incorporated the second. So it was because they "didn't like the idea", huh?

Compelling legal analysis there, Sandy.

I guess the Supremes decided they didn't like the idea of the third, or the seventh, or the "Grand Jury" clause of the fifth either. Picky picky.

That's exactly right. The Court picks the rights that they decide are most important and disregards the rest. That's why they call it selective incorporation, but I guess "picky picky" works too.
