You need a Constitutional listing of the Bill of Rights.

We the people are the government and what powers not given specifically to the Federal are supposed to be given to each state.

I do not know specifically what Texas state law says so have no opinion as to the right or wrong of it. Only that Santorum spoke specifically to a case that was in a court of law and all of the perverts and their supporters were ready to destroy him because of what he did not say.


No the Constitution did not give "privacy" specifically as a right. Judges and lawyers in a court saw "privacy" but it is not a stated right.

It is man, flesh man who have perverted that founding document to make it say whatever one chooses it to say, reason liberals call it a living document. YOu know that gray world so many who have no morals like to live.

"You need a Constitutional listing of the Bill of Rights"

It's worth noting that many of the founding fathers, including Madison, the primary author, were against a Bill of Rights. They feared that government would interpret it as meaning that only those rights listed were protected.

"You need a Constitutional listing of the Bill of Rights."

I don't think I'm the one in need of a quick lesson on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights here.

"We the people are the government and what powers not given specifically to the Federal are supposed to be given to each state."

Amendment X.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

It seems that you forgot "we the people" there.

" No the Constitution did not give "privacy" specifically as a right. Judges and lawyers in a court saw "privacy" but it is not a stated right."

It doesn't have to be a stated right, does it? You would know that if you had any sort of knowledge of the Constitution.

Amendment IX.
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

I retain my right to privacy, and I will fight you, and any level of government that tries to take it from me.

I did notice however, that you refused to directly answer one single question posted. That was all the answer I needed.

"You know that gray world so many who have no morals like to live."

Unable to actually enter into a debate, you decide to begin the personal attacks.

It's not grey, it's black and white and written in our Bill of Rights. Simply because a right is not enumerated in the Constitution, it does not mean that it doesn't exist.
