Yep, and it also means ALL immunities, privileges and rights.
Like the right to FULL healthcare now that every MAN has that right
Thus the right endures until a Rightwing Bigot named Alito says otherwise
Your problem with the 14th is that you added words not in the 14th in order to make your case.
Felons, btw, who have served out their sentences,CAN NOT be stopped without reasonable suspicion, cannot be searched without probable cause and have all other rights besides those losses permitted under the 13th Amendment.
You failed to make a factual argument and succeeded in demonstrating only your zeal, not your grasp of facts.

Every, repeat, EVERY 'variation' which makes "unique" DNA is a mutation. There is no other way of changing from mere replication to evolution
Like I said, correctly, a Cancer is unique in precisely the same way a zygote, embryo or foetus is unique.
Except in the case of cancer, failure to remove the parasite is ALWAYS fatal to the host as opposed to the z/e/f which merely threatens her life.

You're missing the point. The RFRA CANNOT overcome HER 14th Amendment right to "equal rights, privileges (like healthcare) and immunities".
But Roberts has some red-meat Catholics to appease and thus never even claims the 1st Amendment applies, only that RFRA applies and REFUSED to consider HER rights.
Do try not to imagine motives when you do not even understand the law (14th Amendment) that was flouted.

A republic (representatives isolating the voters from the issues) is not a democracy and is intended to keep power out of the hands of the majority.
When voting took 2 weeks just to count (and there is no reason other than fear of criminality for not using internet voting) there MAY have been an excuse
There is no such excuse.
Let us each vote on every expenditure and hear every classified briefing. NO MORE SECRET LAWS!
Time to obliterate states. Time for the PEOPLE to control the state just as Jefferson wanted.
If you think "just powers from the consent of the governed" is anything but democracy, you do indeed think like all the other elites (How can peasants know what is good for them say the kings)

If gerrymandering means 1 man = 1 1/80 votes, but only in Republican (or Democratic) districts, the stability of the American system is over and done, with the minority ruling the majority.
That whole "Just powers from the consent of the governed" fails the test of Gerrymandering.
thus the need for direct democracy, now that we have the necessary technology.
For one thing, the buying of elections would end
For another, respect for law when the MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE decide what is law will go well up
There are people like Glenn Beck who call Democracy " Two wolves and a sheep holding a vote on what is for dinner" but that is what we have in an UNrepresentative Republic.
In a Republic, it only takes 31% minority to block the lawful and Constitutional will of the majority.
