Or are you saying that Texas is immune from the Bill of Rights?

Confirmed by Barron in 1833 yes. Gitlow in 1925 incorporated the First Amendment to the separate and sovereign states. So before 1925 (almost 60 full years after the passage of the 14th by force and threat), that was the case, as it should be. The Bill of Rights was not intended to apply to the separate and sovereign states under the original intent of the Constitution of these United States.

Are you really going to quote me law prior to 1861?

Next you’ll be citing Dred Scott as established case law.

All American citizens are promised rights by the Constitution. The states cannot take them away.
