Why does the Bill of Right apply to state governments? It doesn’t say so in the constitution. Hint: It has nothing to do with the equal protection clause.

You think the 4th amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable search and seizure is what makes death threats not protected speech? That is very incorrect.
thats what you got from that? lol try again
Minors have special protections. The cross is done via video feed so they get to observe it.
The bar is met when their atty or other appointed advocate gets to do the cross.
Death threats come with a provable harm.
Your rights end where they come up against those of another person.
Keep swinging and missing.

You literally just added rules/exceptions not articulated in the constitution, thus illustrating my point exactly. Congratulations. Try to follow a conversation instead of budding in with your absolute nonsense.

Yes. That’s exactly what I got from that because that’s what you said.
the only amendment in the BoR that specifically only applies to federal government says… “The congress shall make no law”. the rest of them are universal and apply to all government.

Uh, exactly. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons . . .” is the beginning of the fourth amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable search and seizure. That’s the reason you gave, it’s right there.

And how do we know they apply to state governments? Where are you getting that from?
Are you sure that’s how it was always interpreted and applied? You might want to look into that.

Incorporation doctrine stems from Amendments to the Constitution, namely the 13th, 14th (big one) and 15th.
“Congress shall make no law…” is the 1st Amendment, which is incorporated.
The due process clause of the 14th Amendment is the basis for incorporation. It is a direct result of the south’s behavior prior to and during the civil war. A correction if you will.

No I didn’t, children have since the founding been treated differently than adults because they are not “adults” and thus not held to the same standards as adults.
The concept and limits of rights were well understood by the founders and well defined at the time so they didn’t need to be spelled out.
You have no right to infringe upon the rights of others period.
