Selective incorporation is the name of the game. It wasn't until 1925 that the courts actually ruled that states must comply with the 14th Amendment at all, but that was only related to free speech. The 7th and 8th Amendments still aren't fully incorporated by the states to this day.
To keep with the theme of the thread, today in 1936 Hitler brook the Treaty of Versailles by sending troops into the Rhineland.
A role model of a strong leader if there ever was one! Maybe Our Real President will honor today by sending troops into a country.
Wouldn't that be grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!?
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
