Because there is a line drawn around every amendment--the clear and present danger line, you can call it. It's why you can't shout fire in a crowded theater. Where that line is drawn for each right depends on the circumstances of the right involved, and that's the point of my comparison.

Who gets to draw the line? As an employer, I have had to give up enormous "rights" I had 50 years ago. I can no longer determine whom to hire, how to manage them, whom to promoteand in many cases, how much to pay them. How did the property rights that somehow invade a lock car's trunk remain so undiminished?
