You'd have to define what you mean by "classless society" but if it's what I'm thinking of there has never been one for very long and never will....
No, it wouldn't. "Arising under the Constituion" is referring to cases specifically involving something in the Constitution, otherwise it makes...
A Supreme Court decision isn't the law of the land, it's the law of the case. It's the job of the executive branch to execute laws and the...
Correct. Why do you think this is a problem?
Very well. Because the 14th Amendment wasn't originally designed to change the nature of the original Amendments? Is this another Supreme Court...
Following up your subject with a predicate would be helpful. Then why did it take one hundred years for the Supreme Court to start protecting...
You'll have to exbound on that. The 14th Amendment didn't change the first Ten Amendments nor was it believed to have done so until one hundred...
The States are not subject to all parts of the Constitution. The States are only subject to those parts that were specifically written regarding...
Article III, Section 2: The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United...
The Supreme Court is supposed to decide on laws passed by the Federal Government, not the States. That article does not address the issue at all....
The crises which prompted the Founding Fathers was the terror and abuse of a national government. The powers the Founding Fathers wanted for the...
See my post above. It's much safer and effective to deal with an abusive state than it is to deal with an abusive nation. If the national...
That decision was made a century after the 14th Amendment was written. If you want to understand the 14th Amendment, the answers will be found in...
I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying it's not unConstutional. The argument is between whether you want the Federal Government telling you what...
The 14th Amendment only protects a citizen's right to life, liberty and property (without due process). It also gurantees to each citizen equal...
The phrase, "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" is referring to laws passed in the individual states. It...
What's to stop the Federal Government from doing that? Powerful national governments are no protection from abuse of rights. Compare the crimes...
It's interesting that the Court decided this a complete century later. Obviously the original framers of the 14th Amendment never meant to change...
Those "many" who argue that are called leftists and they're not interested in original intent unless it suits them - which it rarely does. The...
The 14th Amendment applies to the States but the framers of that Amendment never intended it to reverse the original meaning of the Amendments...
That's irrelevant. With the expansion of American citizenship comes the expansion of individuals who have the right to bare arms. The original Ten...
Woah! This is exactly opposite to what the Constitution says, specifically the 9th and 10th Amendments. The first Ten Amendments were originally...
The preamble is pure fluff and subjective. The legal stipulations of the document come after the preamble. You're forgetting that slaves were not...
Where does it say that in the Constitution??? Not according to the Constution's original meaning. The states may restrict gun ownership within...
