You may not think sodomy is a "right" protected by the ninth amendment, but liberals sure do.

I suppose they do. However, the Ninth Amendment doesn't refer to sodomy; nor would I claim that it does. All the Ninth says is that the Constitution's enumerated rights isn't an exclusive list. If the sodomites want to try to wedge their lifestyle into that opening, it's not my fault for pointing out the existence of the Ninth Amendment. I'm not interested in discussing -- or even thinking about -- sodomy. That's not why I posted this thread.

Well I've suggested abortion, sodomy, and gay marriage as just some of the "rights" liberals discover "emanating" from the Ninth Amendment. If it's not these "rights" you're talking about, then what are you talking about? Can you give an example of a "right" not mentioned in the Constitution which should be implied by a "liberal construction?"
