But to you that's no good because it's not specifically mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. Kind of a juvenile attitude, isn't it?

Less so than the idea that there are no "rights" beyond those explicitly listed in the BOR. I'll believe you're serious when you quit relying on that idea.

Baseless accusation. We have many rights. Society chooses to protect only a relatively few. Some of those rights society chooses to protect are found in the BOR. Some are found in state constitutions.

But if they ain't there, they ain't protected.

Now, you can scream and cry and deny and say they should be protected and they must be protected and it's unconstitutional if they're not protected. But if they're not protected in either the state or federal constitution, you, sir, are SOL.
