I've cited evidence that "privileges and immunities" was understood by the Founders to encompass the rights recognized in the BOR. What evidence do you have that says otherwise?

You did not. Not even close.

Article IV, Section 2 was written and ratified before the BOR was even added to the constitution. How could it refer to something that wasn't there?

"What evidence do you have that says otherwise?"

The Slaughterhouse Cases where the privileges and immunities of "citizens of the United States" were defined. I already posted that to you.

150 years of court rulings saying that the BOR only applied to the federal government.
