Of course. That's why I very carefully added "shall not be infringed".

A careless poster would claim they couldn't find a "right to do drugs" in the Constitution. THEN you could admonish the poster with your pat phrase.

the constitution was not written to enumerate rights..it was written to limit the government's power to infringe those rights...the bill of rights should never have been ratified as it gives too many people the idea that those are the only rights protected....any power not given in the constitution to the federal government does not exist (except by the use of force)
