14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
quote:
Section 1. . No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

the big deal is allowing states to recogninze or not recognize the full faith and credit clause of Article IV Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
Full Faith and Credit does not apply to essential freedoms. And the States themselves agreed to this when passing the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Everyone deserves a neatly dug grave. It is the timing that's in dispute.

All the States
all the states as of 1868, maybe, but not ALL THE STATES. and it took until 2003 for all the states that were states in 1868 to accept it, which definately tells me its probably a shady amendment.
Nope, all the states. Those that joined the Union after it's passage had to adopt it as a condition of becoming a state.
You suck . Damn, couldn't controll the ad hominem.
