The 14th secedes nothing of any other Amendment. Using this tactic would conflict with numerous others, and as such, would/should (logically) fall from consideration.
Of course, the same can be said vs. 16th. The 4th, 5th and 13th were never over-turned by the former.
As well as gun ‘control’, welfare, social security, etc. etc. etc.
I do not disagree with you. It is, however, the argument they use to “prove” they are following the law, and then use this “law” to impose their will on the rest of us.
If we defy a judge, they can have you arrested. If you resist said arrest, the judge’s henchmen—the police—will beat or kill you.
It is, as I said, a tyranny. Judges are tyrants. Some are friendly, well-meaning, and even kindly, but they’re still tyrants. You cannot defy them and chose to go your own way. You MUST do their bidding if they so decide.
