Re: my remark about "Reconstruction amendments". Look that term up some time. There were three, of which 14 was one.

I'm very familiar with the 13th though 15th amendments. The 14th amendment was the one that extended the Bill of Rights to state (and by implication) private or organizational infringement. It's a matter of semantics because, although the 14th amendment didn't give the federal government jurisdiction over private/organizational infringement, it gave them jurisdiction over the state that didn't take action over such municipal, private or organizational infringement. It's indirect.

But what, about my post, didn't mention the extension of Constitutional protection, or control, or whatever you want to call it, to the states? Must I requote my comment?

quote:
...and, with one of the "Reconstruction" amendments, typically considered to apply to state governments, as well.

What did I miss, that I failed to convey exactly what you said I didn't?
