Amendment IX : US Constitution "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." I guess you missed that part of civics.

Which you interpret to mean your right to be intoxicated in public? So is there anything you can't do in public? If you want to traipse up and down the street in your birthday suit, the IX Amendment gives you the right to do it? If you can will it, it's your right? That's your position?

Its hard to believe there are so many on this board that believe arresting a guy who drank 5 beers at a hotel bar is in line with limited government.

But maybe you're right. Since this is a state and local issue, we should petition the government over this. I say from now on, we vote out any modern puritans who want to revive the Anti-Saloon League and the Women's Christian Temperence Union, or anyone who favors the Bar Gestapo playing chaperone to grown adults.
