It covers the historical and political background for the Supreme Court's infamous 1873 decision in The Slaughter-House Cases, and why the Supreme Court should not only revive the Fourteenth Amendment's Privileges or Immunities Clause in McDonald v. Chicago, but also should keep so-called "substantive due process" as a part of its tools for protecting individual rights. You can read the article online here or here.
