Disappointing disconnect

I'll see your Supremacy clause and raise you a 14th amendment. Under your approach, Art. IV, Sec. 2 obviates the 14th amendment, sec 1, p&i clause. And I'll also toss in a 15th and 19th amendment. I hope you'll see my raise with the incorporation doctrine, because that seems more likely to get you where you're going, even though either phrasing seems to result the same--the laws of the united states are still supreme, no?
