You have consistently denied the supremacy of our constitution in favor of socalled 'states rights'.
You deny that states are forbidden to violate the rights of life, liberty, and property by the 14th amendment.

In short, you are NOT telling the truth about your views.

I could have sworn that the 10th Amendment protections of States was actually located inside of the document known as the "Constitution", which is supreme. In other words, States Rights that are not delegated to the Federal Government, have supreme protection!

You deny that states are forbidden to violate the rights of life, liberty, and property by the 14th amendment.

The 5th forbade such violations long before the 14th came along, if the the Supremeacy Clause had been literally interpreted. The Supremeacy Clause incorporates the 5th Amendment into all State Constitutions - the 14th is superfluous, when it comes to prohibiting States from violating life, liberty and property without due process of law.

You're just in love with the 14th Amendment, along with the ACLU, and radical egalitarians who think that only the central government can determine what's "equal protection". It's a wonder today that separate bathrooms at State rest stops are still legal.

Radicals = the Problem.
