Reread the posts in question. I had repeatedly said that the drafters would not have written in a code that would take decades to break. I said that they would have written in plain language. I made this point several times.
You claimed that I said that the amendment was written in code. This was an absolute bald-faced lie. It is completely at odds with my repeated statements to the contrary. - ROL -

====================================

How weird. -- You claim that IF the 14th means what the USSC says, THEN the amendment must have been written in some sort of code which the court was only able to break after decades of study.

-- And, -- you then say that if I draw attention to your bizarre reasoning about 'codes', that I am a liar, deliberately misrepresenting your statement.

You are wrong, and your own words prove your irrationalilty on the subject.

[Rule of Law]

As I said in my email to you, if you choose to advertise the fact that you are a liar, that's your business. But your constant whining because some people choose to ignore you rather than put up with your childish antics is getting tedious. Frankly, I believe your behavior borders on abuse.

How weird. -- You claim that IF the 14th means what the USSC says, THEN the amendment must have been written in some sort of code which the court was only able to break after decades of study.

You claim that the 14th Amendment applies the Bill of Rights to the states.

It took the US Supreme Court decades to start applying even part of the Bill of Rights to the states using the 14th Amendment. In fact, the Court still hasn't adopted the interpretation you propose because they refuse to apply all of the Bill of Rights to the states. The Second Amendment, for instance.

I stated repeatedly that if the drafters of the 14th Amendment had intended for the Bill of Rights to apply to the states, they would have said so in no uncertain terms and not have used a code that it would take decades to break. In other words, the 14th Amendment does not mean what you say it means.

You accused me of saying the 14th Amendment was written in code. This is exactly the opposite of what I said, as anyone with the least bit of intelligence can see from reading my posts.

To spell it out for you -- my posts suggest that you must believe that the 14th Amendment is written in code. A code the courts still haven't broken completely because they have not "discovered" that (according to you) the 2nd Amendment applies to the states.

My position is equally clear. I say that if they had wanted the Bill of Rights to apply to the states, they would have said so in no uncertain terms. Since they did not, I conclude that the Bill of Rights does not apply to the states.

Now, friend, as I've said, your constant whining has gotten old. You can continue to whine and cry all you want. But do it on someone else's posts. I'm tired of listening to your childish nonsense.
