Kind of a weak protection of our Natural rights if the States we reside in are under no obligation to respect or acknowledge those rights granted to us by our Creator. Maybe that is why the 14th Amendment was ratified according to our founders vision of an amendable Constitution.

Amendment 14: excerpt from Section 1. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I thought we were talking about the original intent of the Bill of Rights? So now you want to talk about the 14th Amendment. Ok, but before we move on TO THE NEXT TOPIC, do you concede that the original intent of the founders was that the Bill of Rights was to apply solely to the federal government and not to the states?
