Read it again and take note where the commas are placed. It's pretty important.

So what's your point: let's just ignore the first half of the amendment, clearly the framers didn't think it mattered because they used commas?
And as a side note, the English language was significantly different hundreds of years ago, so applying any of our modern understanding of commas to it would be incorrect.
