I probably was thinking 13th (or whichever) amendment for the badges of slavery cases. I promise to be more careful in the future. These aren't amendments that get used much in my line of work.
Although I can't cite them off the top of my head, I know that there were cases in which the interstate commerce clause was used to uphold civil rights laws. That doesn't mean that the 14th amendment wasn't also used.
