>> the constitutional right to pursuit of happiness
The what?
Uh, can you tell me exactly where we find that in the constitution, Bob?
sorry, that should have read that the constitution protects the declaration of independence’s declaration of the right to pursue happiness- which is an inalienable right- the constitution protects liberty, liberty is the right to do within bounds, that which betters ourselves and our happiness
the 14’th amendment to the constitutution was interpreted by McReynalds to mean the ‘orderly pursuit of happiness by free men’ in Meyer v. Nebraska
You are right, the actual constitution doesn’t say ‘pursuit of happiness- but the constitution DOES protect that right with restrictions- which is the crux of the post I made concerning gays trying to claim they have a right when they don’t- they claim the right to pursuit of happiness means unfettered unrestrained right to do anything they wish- they do NOT have that right- no more so than any other DEVIENT has a right to do whatever they wish- We are granted rights, and they are protected by the constitution, but they have criteria that we m ust meet before we are granted those rights-
