I am not and have never tried to deny you any rights. I am still totally confused about why you are accusing me of all of these right denying actions. You can have sex with an underaged monkey beneath the Arch in St. Louis if you want, the Constitution is clear in the fact that the Federal Government does not have the power to stop you. But the 10th Amendment of that same Constitution states that if Missouri want to throw your psychotic moronic ass in a rubber room for the rest of your life, then that is entirely up to the state of Missouri. I have a friend who works at Yerkes, if you want perhaps we can try this experiment out. I think a rubber room would be good for you.

Perhaps you didn't understand the 10th ~ it has THREE PARTS. The first part are rights assigned to the federal government. The second part are rights retained by the states. The third part are rights retained by the people.

The federales are limited. The states are limited of their own volition. You and I are limited only to the extent that the federal government or the state have been assigned or retained a right.

It's an interesting use of the word "right".

So whatever Missouri wants to do they will have to pass a law in that state to do it. Otherwise, it's not against the law.
