Nope. It was something an activist court came up with to try and pull an end run around the 14th.

Not even close. That the BoR in the Federal Constitution didn't apply to the States was settled in 1833. Amendment XIV was ratified in 1868. Furthermore, you've got it EXACTLY BACKWARDS. Incorporation is a theory of law which employs the XIVth Amendment, and does not try to "end run around it." At. All.

Funny, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Gallatin, George Mason, and all those other dead white guys must be wrong then?
