I gave no thought to the Mother Jones article as it pertains to this decision.

The original intent and historical circumstances of the amendment seems to have no bearing on the decision. The article was meant to give a historical perspective of the amendment. And it is amazing how people pick and chose certain words and omits others in that amendment.
