Update on Sen. Frothy Mix

Timothy Kincaid has this great post at BTB on Sen. Frothy's confusion about rights and privileges (which we noted yesterday), with a stunning quote:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the PRIVILEGES or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. [emphasis added]

And for former Senator Teabagger Wannabe, just in case he was wondering -- that's from the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
