"we know that because the people who wrote the amendment said so in plain English on the floor of Congress."

We know that, do we? While it may have been said, it certainly wasn't heard.

There's plenty of evidence that after the 14th was ratified Congress passed legislation that was wholly unnecessary had the 14th amendment, which they themselves voted for, actually incorporated the first eight articles of the federal Bill of Rights.

Not one person, including the originators of the 14th amendment, stood on the floor and said that the proposed legislation was unnecessary since the 14th amendment already covered it.
