14th Amendment Democrats Ace in the Hole

The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868, and extended the rights and liberties of the Bill of Rights to formerly enslaved people. It also established the following rights and protections:
Citizenship
All people born or naturalized in the United States are citizens.
Equal protection
No state can deny equal protection of the law to anyone within its jurisdiction.
Due process
No state can deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
Apportionment
Representatives are apportioned among states based on their respective numbers, excluding Indians not taxed.
Disqualification
Former civil and military office holders who supported the Confederacy are prohibited from holding any state or federal office, unless a two-thirds vote in both Houses of Congress removes the prohibition.
The 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause has been applied to many aspects of public life over the years, including Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded educational and athletic programs.
