So you think the 10th amendment can shield prohibit these laws?
No, as I have said above I think the Ninth Amendment prohibits these laws.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
As I have said before, I believe rights trump powers.
This is (I believe) the central conflict in our Republic - when the state's power to regulate conflicts with the innate rights retained by the people.
I believe in individual freedom over government control of persons, so I side with rights over powers. Even when the right involved is the right to do something I don't want to do - I don't belive that the Constitution only protects my own personal likes.
Why don't you go back to DU.
Ah, name calling. Hardly a substitute for a valid argument.
In post 217 of this thread you said the 10th amendment. Now you are saying you are talking about the 9th amendment They may fall for that at DU but not here.
Now as far as The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
it was the people who made the law by voting for representatives who would pass that law so the people in doing so had retained their right to have a law. Just because some Judge didn't like the law did not make the law unconstitutional any more than the Roe v. Wade decision was based on constitutional grounds. \
Only a Liberal belives this type of shit. Liberals hang out on DU. Go back to DU.
