I have absolutely no problem with you addressing the problem of
inequality as it is manifested today. I only
ask that you not find your justification in an amendment that
has nothing to do with the problems you wish to address. If you
wish to address inequality of income or education through the
Constitution, you should do what was done in 1868: adopt an amendment.
The reason you don't do that is quite simple. You know you can't
get popular support for what you want. So instead you are reading
your objectives back into the Fourteenth Amendment.
