  > Many state laws are massive fourteenth amendment violations Because the application of the 14th amendment is newer and less familiar. The 14th Amendment's passage is the first time the Constitution and Bill of Rights applied to the states at all. The Federal Government was really this smaller separate thing back then, before a few key events where it essentually subjugated all states. The rationale of extending the 14th amendment to all states was clarified decades later, and in fact is still being clarified in different contexts. So yes, there are still outstanding 14th amendment violations. You suggest the Supreme Court is a problem. Outside of 1 or 2 medical procedures it actually isn't that divided on most things if you go and look. Majority opinions are mostly bipartisan, or the whole court agrees. But you can use this less obvious understanding to your advantage over the next decade or two.
