Incorporation has nothing to do with federal powers. Federal powers are already limited by the Bill of Rights whether or not those same rights are incorporated against the States.
That's true, and Hugh's poll questions made no sense to me because of that fact. However, on thinking about it, application to the states will create more case law (for better or worse) and that case law will affect how the 2nd applies to the feds as well as to other states.
