what’s that and no I am not kidding as I am taking a GOVT in college to finish my degree to get a promotion and trust me . The people today have no idea about the Constitution , or the Constitution, or the 10th.
Just so you know, Civil War era Rep. John Bingham was the main author of Section 1 of 14th Amendment. And Bingham had clarified in the congressional record that most of the constitutional “privileges or immunities” indicated in Section 1 of that amendment are those mentioned in the Bill of Rights (BoR) that the states amended to the Constitution as evidenced by the excerpt below.
"Mr. Speaker, that the scope and meaning of the limitations imposed by the first section, fourteenth amendment of the Constitution may be more fully understood, permit me to say that the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, as contradistinguished from citizens of a State, are chiefly defined in the first eight amendments to the Constitution of the United States." — John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe (See middle part of 2nd column.)
Although a small number of privileges and immunities are not in the Bill of Rights but elsewhere in the Constitution, some people evidently think that the Constitution’s privileges and immunities are something different from the BoR.
And if Bingham’s using the rights enumeranted in the BoR isn’t a big enough clue that 14A applies only rights enumerated to the Constitution by the states to the states then please consider the following.
Bingham had also clarified that 14A applies only those rights which the states amend the Constitution to expressly protect to the states, not fictitious rights like abortion and gay marriage which activist justices found in the Constitution using their “magic glasses.”
“Mr. Speaker, this House may safely follow the example of the makers of the Constitution and the builders of the Republic, by passing laws for enforcing all the privileges and immunities of the United States as guaranteed by the amended Constitution and expressly enumerated in the Constitution [emphasis added].” —John Bingham, Congressional Globe, House of Representatives, 42nd Congress, 1st Session. (See lower half of third column.)
The bottom line is that activist justices have no fear of perverting the Constitution because they are probably very confident that the corrupt Senate is not going work with the corrupt House to impeach them and remove them from the bench.
The 17th Amendmnet needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and activist justices along with it.
