The first 10 amendments had ALREADY been totally "incorporated" on December 15, 1791....

"Congress of the United States;

"Begun and held at the City of New York, on Wednesday, the 4th of March, 1789.

"The conventions of a number of the states having, at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added; and as extending the ground of public confidence in the government will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution;--

"Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two thirds of both houses concurring, that the following articles be proposed to the legislatures of the several states, as amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all or any of which articles, when ratified by three fourths of the said legislatures, to be valid, to all intents and purposes, as part of the said Constitution, namely,-- . . ."

"Art. IV.[Later abridged to II. - Ed. by EDQ]  (The following breakdown of Amendment II by clauses is not contained in the original document - Ed. by EDQ).

"Declaratory" clause:

"A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,

Restrictive

the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Article VI - This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.--U.S. Constituion

"The Senators and Representatives, and the members of the several State legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and the several States, shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support this Constitution.''It has been asked why it was thought necessary, that the State magistracy should be bound to support the federal Constitution, and unnecessary that a like oath should be imposed on the officers of the United States, in favor of the State constitutions. Several reasons might be assigned for the distinction. I content myself with one, which is obvious and conclusive. The members of the federal government will have no agency in carrying the State constitutions into effect. The members and officers of the State governments, on the contrary, will have an essential agency in giving effect to the federal Constitution."

- James Madison, Federalist No. 44, New York Packet, Friday, January 25, 1788.

There is NO VALID "incorporation doctrine". The U.S. Supreme Court has been LYING to We The People. By playing with our PREEXISTING Rights for over 200 years. The court is actually full of the willfully ignorant, or outright deliberate, TRAITORS.
