Repeal the Fourteenth Amendment

___On April 28th, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear Obergefell v. Hodges, et al., consolidated cases which will decide whether state laws defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.

___The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to provide equal protection of law to freed slaves (13th Amendment). The states of the Confederate States of America were forced to ratify the 14th in order to rejoin the union. The 14th has been abused to murder unborn babies, to illegally give birthright citizenship, to overturn a state Supreme Court decision about an election, etc. The legal protection of freed slaves is a moot point now. The 14th Amendment is fertile ground for activist judges for abuse. It should be repealed.
