Are you really that ignorant of constitutional law. The 14th is part of the constitution. I lists, specifically, things the states cannot do. Since it is part of the constitution, then if you actually where to read the 10th(hint: you might want to do that) you will see why one of the two exceptions listed in the 10th will apply. I will walk you through this, here is the 10th again: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Bolding and underlining should help. Power goes to the states, except in two cases, listed in the 10th.Now let us look at the relevant portion of the 13th, with again some handy highlighting: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. 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."
Are you still confused?

Hey Redress, Ya know what's the best part of trying to talk with someone we all recognize as deliberately irritating and full of themselves as you?
It's knowing that while chuckling at post after post of growing bizarre obnoxious behavior, sooner or later you'll screw up so bad even you can't deny it.
You quoted the 14th Amendment, my friend, not the 13th.
How sweet it is.
