WARD CHURCHILL: IDIOT (his 9th Amendment rights trump your 1st Amendment rights)

But watch this video where Churchill, fraud, bigot, and 9/11 apologist... as he explains why we should deny First Amendment rights to people who want to march in a Columbus Day parade. (And keep in mind how often he and his supporters have invoked free speech to justify his own appearances on university campuses.)

Once again an educated person attempts to cloud an issue: This time with the 9th Amendment which reads.......

Amendment IX - Construction of Constitution. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

After which Article VI of the Constitution is misquoted to give the appearance that a treaty trumps your rights.

Article VI. - Debts, Supremacy, Oaths
(paragraph 1 skipped)
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
(paragraph 3 skipped)

This only says that the US Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and treaties made by the US trump state law.
The key is"Constitution or Laws of any State".

This is why it is imperative that we insist that public schools teach American children the Declaration of Independence, the full US Constitution and emphasize the Bill of Rights. We can all see that the 9th amendment was used only in an attempt to embarrass people into silence.
