The 5th Amendment guarantee of a grand jury in criminal prosecutions doesn't apply to the states.
The right to a jury for a civil trial under the Seventh Amendment doesn't apply to the states.

I disagree, Roscoe.

Unless there's an Amendment to supersede the 14th,
"privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States"
must be honored by the many States.

I disagree, Roscoe.

If you don't have any Supreme Court decisions to support your position, how about something from the Fourteenth Amendment's authors?
