A terrible amendment which created a system of dual citizenship, increased the power of the Federal Government and instituted the eventual destruction of the independence of the State Republics. It has very little to do with equal protection and more to do with governmental control and consolidation of power.

The most tortured and tangled Amendment of the constitution including the First and that's saying a lot. The original intention of the Amendment was to ensure due process for equal protection under the law. It has become an empty vessel through which interpretivist jurists have poured their ideological dispositions in a series of usurpative acts that have neutered the democratic process and brough our republican government to its knees.

it sounds good but in the real world there always seems to be some legal loophole that keeps it from being practiced to its full meaning unless you have enough money to pay for the right. the state of utah is becoming known to overcharge a suspect as a form of intimidation so the suspect will most likely plea out to lesser charges because they fear they could actually be looking at serving time for the more serious crime that they didnt commit in the first place and with no financial resources alot dont want to chance it with only a public defender. to me thats not equal protection nor i believe its any form of justice. its an underhanded way of dealing with the overcrowding of our court systems.
