Ummm...what the heck is a "constitutional right"?

People have the right, given to them by their Creator, to procure sustainance.

Perhaps the constitutionally illiterate author meant a "constitutionally protected right"?

Har har. It's way too late to worry about that. The KY constitution has something like 200 pages of amendments. I'm guessing that only FL is worse for endless amendments that are rightly the prevue of the legislature.
