==== Your position becomes very strong once we cross 1868. ====

After the Fourteenth Amendment:
* Rights are no longer protected merely by negative federal enumeration
* The relationship between citizen and state is altered
* The Privileges or Immunities Clause is expressly declaratory of pre-existing rights

At that point:
* Selective incorporation is logically unstable
* Treating some rights as “fundamental” and others as optional is incoherent
* The Seventh Amendment distinction you raise is one of the few that actually survives scrutiny

On that terrain, your petition is doing real damage to modern doctrine.
