14th 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 [emphasis added]; 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.
And the reason that pro-gay activist justices are ignoring pro-gay activist states who are violating the 14th Amendment is because these justices undoubtedly know that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate will not lift a finger to work with the House to impeach and remove such justices from the bench.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and activist justices along with it.

Good ole 14th amendment strikes again!
"The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and activist justices along with it."
Yeah that one sure sucks, but the 16th Amendment is the mother of all mistakes. It is the intravenous food supply for the FedGov beast and the only way it can sustain itself.
They've built layer upon further layer above and beyond it in order to permanentize their power, such as paycheck withholding and deficit spending. Their Achilles Heel is in their cash stream ( ironically the exact same argument that FedGov uses to go after Drug Dealers and Terrorists ).
If I could change one thing right now it would be for the Supreme Court to decide that "withholding" is unConstitutional and that paychecks may not be intercepted between employers and employees. This would force the taxpayers to manage their own resources and have to save enough cash in order to pay the taxman.
I'd give it one or two years max before the next Revolution comes about, one that exceeds the first revolution in size and scope, and for good reason - King George could never dream of taxing at rates from 40% to 90% ( in the late 1950's to early 1960's ). Of course this is exactly why the Supreme Court does not address something as unConstitutional as withholding which is patently contrary to the whole purpose of the Revolution in the first place.
