I had never heard of this until just now. It's a theory that the 14th Amendment is invalid supposedly because southern states were denied representation in the Senate when it was passed and the legislatures in the southern states that ratified it were not validly elected. (Lots of anger over Reconstruction.) Apparently this was brought up during the sixties during the civil rights struggles. However, if there was anything to this it seems that it would have been acted upon sometime in the last 140 years. Obviously they are desperate.
