> The Supreme Court has applied the Fourteenth Amendment to municipal action since at least Yick Wo That case was about a city ordinance (true, a city ordinance, not a State law that the city was enforcing, so that much is a fair point) that was inequitably enforced (non-Chinese got permits, Chinese didn't, with no other material facts being different). It was not the city providing a service itself. > It expressly prohibits states from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process This refers to civil suits or criminal prosecutions, not the government providing services.
