The 14th Amendment is also sacred. Your average libertarian hates this part:
>Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
>subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
>States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or
>enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of

>nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection

since it claims federal precedence over states' rights.
And they also love that bit about how powers not explicitly granted to the feds are reserved for the states.
