Senator Howard may have made such a statement, but the language that was to have made this happen was stricken from the Amendment before it passed.

Nope; the privileges and immunities clause is right there in the final amendment text.

Nope; the privileges and immunities clause is right there in the final amendment text.

No one can say what "priveleges and immunities" means. There is no list.

Original drafts of the 14th Amendment had plain language indicating that the Bill of Rights applied to the states. This language was deleted. The fact that they deleted unequivocal language and replaced it with "priveleges and immunities" indicates that the phrase must mean something else.
