So I am forced to assume you have never read the Constitution? 10th Amendment?

The Bill of Rights never intended that its purview would allow for the complete eradication of all common sense and the basic morals upon which the Founders decided to craft a new nation.

What the Founders failed in was in assuming that the same morals and values and society would still exist without having to write it down on paper.

And Mark Sanford's reign as governor of South Carolina is something that the Founders would certainly not have said was merely “okay” because they did not specifically address fornication and adultury in the Constituion.
