The 14th Amendment is the village bicycle of decisions underpinning the modernist zeitgeist.

Progressives have been content with legislation by activist judicial degree for 60-70 years, wielding an increasingly flimsy judicial basis rather than enshrining things through legislative action or the consensus of constitutional convention.

They might have been able to get away with it by taking time to let society and the legal apparatus absorb the decisions being shoved down everyone's throats, but they got too trigger happy, pushing for more and more insane cultural novelties and organizing agitation campaigns to manufacture cases to kick up to the higher courts, until the cultural and legal dominos lined up for a substantive reaction to it. That's where we are now, and where we've been for the past five years.

By the time the dust settles, I suspect a lot of their cultural victories through the supreme court built on the 14th since the 1960s are going to be steamrolled. It's not impossible that even legislation like the Civil Rights act might be partially gutted at some point.
