I provided you a link as proof but you refuse to read it.

John Bingham, the principal author of Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment. Bingham had repeatedly stated his belief that the Fourteenth Amendment would enforce the Bill of Rights against the states.

ON MISREADING JOHN BINGHAM AND THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT

Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. 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.

Perhaps you should inform the Yale Law school and the Yale Law Journal that they are in error.

"I provided you a link as proof but you refuse to read it."

I've read it Dave. But it has nothing to do with what we are talking about, and it does not contradict what your other reference proves; that John Bingham did not write the citizenship clause.

The reference you give in that last post (again) is all about the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, not the Citizenship Clause. Bingham did write the second sentence of Section One, but it has nothing to do with citizenship.

It amazes me the difficulty you guys have keeping your own arguments straight.
