Craig, a hypothetical situation for you.

Got you stopped for speeding at 85mph in a 25mph zone and issued a warning. Two years later your State says all people caught speeding must 50mph over the limit must serve three years in prison and lose their license forever.

Now, can they jail you and take your license for a crime you commited one year ago?

This is my argument about the 14th amendment. It did not affect the Confederates no more than that hypothetical situation affected you. It was an excuse Craig.
