Constitutional Rights

Here is one of the best explanations for why the "Rights" of healthcare, housing, food and etc. are in direct contradiction to how the founding fathers viewed the concept of rights. My only quibble is when the author mentions the right to privacy existing in the Bill of Rights. It does not exist there or anywhere else in our Constitution and Justive Stevens', in his "Roe" opinion, discovering it due to the "shadows and penumbras" the other explicitly stated rights cast, is bad law!

Scroll down a little way to "Rights and Wrongs"

How do you do, the Ruminator here

Ruminator: One who ruminates.

Ruminate: to engage in contemplation; reflect.

The other definitions have to do with chewing cud and I guess they might just fit considering I'll be "chewing things over" on this site, trying to make sense of them. Also, will be writing about baseball, cooking and anything else that comes to mind.
