The 14th, 19th and other gay amendments don't have any legal authority over states. Carry on. No. I'm not going to debate this, it's a simple fact. I don't care "how it's done". How it's done also says that "shall not be infringed" means "oh yes infringe away!". e; Funnily enough this also applies to all amendments including the entirety of the BOR. Which also oddly means that state's with severe gun restrictions are legally able to do so. I don't know how this gets by anybody. This was taught to me on like day 1 of US history in grade 4 or whatever. ee: Yes. It's a can of worms. 110 would solve the issue. eee: The sole area in which debate is acceptable in my eyes is the 14th's role. The way I see it, however; is that the bill of rights and founding documents outside the constitution supersede amendments 11+.
