[QUOTE="Gideon, post: 1089088, member: 7898"] This is the part of ConLaw that annoys me the most. The logic of cases like Gitlow v. New York and Barron v. Baltimore simply confound me. If the Federal government can't make a certain law (1st, 2nd Amendments, etc.) and the Supremacy Clause places Federal Law (like the Constitution) above state law, then why does the Bill of Rights not apply to the states? I realize, 10th Amendment, but still. I feel like some rights and limitations should be layered through. Considering how many cases the Supreme Court just kind of played by ear over the years, THIS would be something I'd make sure to have made very clear. [/QUOTE]
