   Equal under the law, doesn't mean we all have to have the same laws in   
   every State.... Once the State passes a law.... it must be "enforced   
   equally"   
      
      
      
   [Section 1.   
   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.]   
      
      
   So Federal citizens can't have their "right" under Federal law abridged   
   by State laws.   
      
      
   That is redundant of the supremacy clause......   
      
      
      
   The State can NOT pass laws to remove "rights" that are given to the   
   people or given to the United States(Federal Government).
