To me, if you have to enumerate every possible human activity that is allowed and call it 'liberty,' then that is not what you have got.  Liberty, to me, is anything I wish to do that does no harm to another.  It is up to government, as restrained by the Constitution, to make the case for infringing on any activity.

Think of the Bill of Rights as being tent poles. They keep the tarpaulin of government power from falling down and smothering the people. The tarp is held up away from us, and we are free to live our lives without government interference. There is no need to enumerate every reason for keeping the tarp up. Only the conditions under which it may descend.

Fine, but don't claim that that was what our founders had in mind since buggery was illegal at the time of our nation's founding. Only recently has a "right" to buggery been invented, and only then by appealing to "international standards of human dignity", not the bill of rights.
