I'm a retired attorney. Every lawyer knows that the Supreme Court,  in a series of decisions spanning a good deal of time, but ending decades ago, has incorporated ALL of the first 10 amendments applying to Congress as applying to the STATES  as well. 

It's  too bad that the paper can't  add editor's responses to letters like these pointing out  the  truth. 

I hope someone with a knowledge of constitutional law will write a standard letter to the paper pointing out this woman's gross misunderstanding of the law. I wonder how many people are going to believe what she wrote  just based on the fact that it was published?
