Justice Scalia: The 14th Amendment does not guarantee Liberty for All - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com
Last Friday, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spoke to an audience at the University of Richmond during a luncheon lecture, entitled “Do Words Matter?”, and about 250 people mostly made up of faculty members and legal professionals were treated to what a strict constitutionalist sounds like.
Justice Scalia spoke on the Constitution not being a “living document”, and railed against the 14th Amendment that opened the door for Roe v. Wade and Homosexual civil rights and liberties.
A short refresher on the “Equal Amendment Clause” to the 14th Amendment:
"Equal Protection Clause" of the 14th Amendment, upon which entirely hangs the hopes of the federal marriage equality movement, reads: "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."
