"the Founding Fathers also respected the power of words. They too were precise in their use of language. And in the Ninth Amendment, they state explicitly that "the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." "

The lying liberal pretends the Ninth doesn't apply ONLY to the federal government.

Madison was very proud to have found a way of keeping the feds from claiming that they had the power to regulate any rights that were not exempted in the Bill of Rights.

The Ninth amendment is a proscription against the federal Court doing just what it did in Lawrence: abridging unenumerated rights!

How are these idiots so successful at reversing the meanings of our Constitution?

"How are these idiots so successful at reversing the meanings of our Constitution?"

An argument could be made that it isn't those who are doing the reversing that are idiots. I think it likely that they know exactly what they're doing. It seems to me that the real idiots are those who know better and do nothing to challenge it, in effect, validating their efforts to nullify the Constitution.
