-- Find Constitutional rights that were never passed -- much less considered -- by a legislative body

Perhaps you might review amendments 9 and 10 to 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.

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.

Perhaps you might review amendment 14 to the Constitution:

Amendment XIV

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Many on the Religious Right seem to think that the Constitution endows rights as opposed to being an organizational document. Amendments IX and X should have set them straight.
