States rights—-Indiana senator style

[WuWei]

The Constitution is pretty clear about who can and how to add rights.

[WuWei]

Not through litigation.

@WuWei

The list of rights.

Too unwieldy.

SCOTUS is much easier.

How do we determine that a right is a right?

The right to privacy, for instance

You want the Texas sex police to see if there is sodomy going on in Texas.

Or do people have the right of privacy.

Allan

It is not a question of “wants”.

And now I have lost another point.

@WuWei

So why not homosexuals and race?

You wanna push for that… knock yourself out champ.

Weak. Crit crap. Now you’re agreeing with Braun.

Yes of course it is.

The Texas legislature wanted sodomy to be a crime.

SCOTUS stepped in.

The people of California wanted same sex marriage prohibited.

SCOTUS stepped in.

The board of education of Topeka wanted only white children to attend it public schools.

SCOTUS stepped in.

Litigation is how you right wrongs.

[biggestal99]

So how do you right those wrongs?

Amend the constitution for every right not enumerated?

What makes them “wrongs”?

[Supreme_War_Pig]

@WuWei

What makes them “wrongs”?

Inequality under the law.

[biggestal99]

@WuWei

What makes them “wrongs”?

Discrimination is wrong.

Equality is the proper way to go.

Fine, then if a cop can carry a gun in NJ, so can I.

The Constitution is pretty clear about who can and how to add rights.

Really, what section of the Constitution list instructions for adding rights?

(And no, not the section that talks about amending the Constitution, because that is not instructions for adding rights. As the Constitution is not a list of rights.)

Not through litigation.

Forcing the government to recognize rights through litigation is perfectly fine.

What amendments did you quote.

Half of the Constitution is a list of rights.

No, it is not. What makes them “rights”?

@WuWei

I didn’t quote any amendment regarding the idea that “The Constitution is pretty clear about who can and how to add rights.”.

The constitution is silent on how to “add rights” as rights do not need to added to it. The Constitution is clear, rights need not be enumerated in the Constitution to be held by the people.
