Get involved and change the law - stop whining about a right that does not exist under our current Constitution.

Grrrrr....

It gripes me to no end when people view the Constitutionand the Bill of Rights as the only rights citizens have and if it ain't there, then the right does not exist.

The Constitution, specifically the 9th amendment, contradicts this position.

In short, YOUR arguments run counter to the Constitution which limit goverment, not citizens' rights and liberties.

There is no enumerated list of "other" rights in the constitution.

To say that everything else not mentioned can be claimed to be a right by virtue of the 9th amendment is funny - such thinking is where we get the idiotic notion that there is a "right" to be free from insensitive language, etc. (insert any other PC crapola "right").
