Mmmm... Halle Berry before all the surgeries. DeLish!
Its about orginalism. This Amendment was written by senator who had written the Civil Rights Act of 1866. That act was vetoed by Andrew Johnson. This Amendment was to force states to accept the recently freed Blacks as equal citizens and not use state law to abridge that freedom.
That was what it was about; making former slaves true citizens. Every other use of it by activist judges (birthright citizenship included) will and should be brought into question. Those things were and are not the intent of the 14th Amendment as written in its time.
