Would you please do me the courtesy of considering the language of . . .

[Floogeldy]

. . . The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution of The United States Of America?

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Thanks,

Floog

1. It still doesn't apply to minorities, women, immigrants, or liberals, though.

Moran.

3. The Ninth Amendment applies to the people.

It is in the Bill Of Rights.

Can you be more specific?

Thanks,

Floog

5. Applies to PEOPLE, yes - that's why it doesn't apply to women,

minorities, immigrants, and liberals.

Sheeeeeeeesh.

Ask any Republican.

2. Clearly just filler language

[Floogeldy]

4. Language to fill what?

8. The Founders had to meet their minimum word limit

Otherwise they'd lose a letter grade from their final grade.

6. These rights here

ain't ALL the rights you got. Use some common sense, idiots.

, of course, I'm paraphrasing.

[Floogeldy]

7. Well put, ChoralScholar.

;)

9. I usually word it as: "Just because a specific right isn't mentioned,

doesn't mean it isn't also protected."

But I like your way, too, ChoralScholar. :-)

10. Rights have always had to be fought for. But in these times it almost seems

impossible.

[ChoralScholar]

11. Very true

while the RW spews nonsense about fighting for freedoms abroad - freedoms which we only give lip service to here.

Welcome to DU, by the way!
