You are not correct.

You should stop letting Hannity et. al. tell you what it is that liberals think. They make things up.

If you want to hear about the hypocrisy of the right on the issue of judicial activism, ask a Minnesotan. Throughout the Bush V Gore case, conservative pundits were saying that counting ballots violates equal protection. Then, in Franken V Coleman, they suddenly determined that not counting votes violates equal protection! How coincidental! Just as Franken took the lead, their opinions universally changed in accordance with their political lean! It's hard to take such hypocrisy seriously.

It isnt specifically listed, nor is any specific constitutional protection.
You might be able to argue that the right exists under the 9th amendment, but the 9th does not, as noted, prescribe any specific protection for the rights that fall under it.


The one that uses plain English


Because it doesnt go looking for excuses to protect a right that's not there.

Wasn't that the crux of Roe vs Wade? Texas law protected under 9th Amend?
