But don't you think people would wake up to the spin they've been living?

How many people don't know that the federal Bill of Rights does not apply to the states unless the Supreme Court says so? Most wouldn't know that, I bet.

Everyone thinks they have the federal Bill of Rights protecting them, and they may have if their state Constitution says they do, but that can be changed at any time, for better or for worse. And it is not uniform. Some states are better than others.

And how many would be surprised to learn of the limits of the 14th Amendment, and how it was intended to apply the Bill of Rights to the states but the Supreme Court stopped it?

I don't think the Right would like going down that road. Which is all the more reason to discuss state's rights in a raging debate.

See, "States rights means no Bill of Rights" doesn't sound good. What kind of "by the people, for the people" is that?
