But if course, YOU do, right? The guy who says the federal Bill of Rights does things that no SCOTUS judge ever supported until the progressive era, which is just a little late to be considered “original”. But good luck with that.

Alex, Dwayne is correct about the Bill of Rights. It is only applied to the federal government. The idea that the BoR was incorporated is a Progressive myth.

Unless you or anyone else here can point to which piece of Progressive philosophy this point of view correlates to, then please stop using the word Progressive, because you don't understand what it means.

Or the later ratification of the 14A. The adaptation of this doctrine does have its roots with the progressives.

Again, you're using the word Progressive as if you know what it means. Name 1 Progressive philosopher without Googling it.

Philosopher? I know more about it than you, dude, but the fact that you keep invoking philosophers in a discussion of Progressive judges' handiwork shows you don't know what you're talking about.

I disagree, Kevin, progressive judicial activism is a relevant problem, as you yourself pointed out when you complained of it "in the 1920s," and it's quite possibly at the heart of this apparent disagreement.

It was because it was the progessive judges who pushed the concept of Incorporation Doctrine as a means to centralize power in DC. What your are advocating no one believed in for roughly 60 years after the passage of 14A.
