Derp? Derp! Derp Derp? DERP!

Not on Planet Wingut anyway.

Of course, it's worth pointing out that on Planet Wingnut,every amendment other than the Second Amendment is "advisory in nature"...

Doncha know, the 14th was deviously planned after the Civil War to address a clairvoyant vision, that the Democrat Party in the future, would require an amendment that would permit all kinds of perverse behavior, create rights and entitlements, that would allow the expansion of the party base and create a basis for socialist legislation to redistribute the private property in the nation. A catch all if you will for advancing the Democrat agenda.

For a purported "Marine", you sure do whine a lot.

Amendment XIV

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2.

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4.

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5.

The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Somewhere around here I have a long eulogy my ancestor wrote back in 1859; almost 3/4ths of it is a political essay about the future of America. My ancestor called liberals 'insane philanthropists' who steal everything of value and debase every institution and virtue to 'equality.' He explained that equality can only exist where poverty is so complete that there's nothing to be gained from any endeavors, including criminal activity. He said That's the real meaning of equality. Death is equality.

So what you're saying is idiocy runs in your family?

Good article.

Well, as to that:

Ratification by the states

Ratification of the amendment was bitterly contested: all the Southern state legislatures, with the exception of Tennessee, refused to ratify. This refusal led to the passage of the Reconstruction Acts. Ignoring the existing state governments, military government was imposed until new civil governments were established and the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified.[18]

Abolitionist leaders including Phillips criticized the amendment's endorsement of a state's right to deny the vote on the basis of race.[19] The reference to "male inhabitants" in Section 2 was the first reference to gender in the Constitution, and was condemned by women's suffragists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony who had long seen their cause as linked to that of black rights. The separation of black civil rights from women's civil rights split the two movements for decades.[20]

On March 2, 1867, the Congress passed a law that required any formerly Confederate state to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment before "said State shall be declared entitled to representation in Congress".[21]

By July 9, 1868, South Carolina and Louisiana ratified the amendment, bringing the total states that had ratified to the necessary three-fourths (28 of 37).[22][a]

On July 20, 1868, Secretary of State William H. Seward certified that the amendment had become part of the Constitution if the rescissions were ineffective, and presuming also that the later ratifications by states whose governments had been reconstituted superseded the initial rejection of the prior state legislatures.[24] The Congress responded on the following day, declaring that the amendment was part of the Constitution and ordering Seward to promulgate the amendment.[25]

Meanwhile, two additional states had ratified the amendment: Alabama (July 13, 1868, the date the ratification was approved by the governor) and Georgia (July 21, 1868, after having rejected it on November 9, 1866).[22] Thus, on July 28, Seward was able to certify unconditionally that the amendment was part of the Constitution without having to endorse the Congress's assertion that the rescissions were ineffective.[25]

After the Democrats won the legislative election in Oregon, they passed a rescission of the Unionist Party's previous adoption of the amendment. The rescission was ignored as too late, as it came on October 15, 1868. The amendment has since been ratified by all of the 37 states that were in the Union in 1868, including Ohio, New Jersey, and Oregon re-ratifying after their rescissions.[26]

Freedom's demise is the product of equality.

Once we get equality before the law tell em to come talk to me about the rest of it.

Freedom's demise is the product of equality.

And is equality's demise the product of freedom? If so, so much the worse for freedom.
