"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals .... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." -- Albert Gallatin, New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789

Yeah... (sarc)That's pretty ambiguous isn't it.(/sarc)

Intent of the Founders was to protect a core set of our Rights an inalienable. Something you are working over-time to justify arguments against...

Don't go away mad Roscoe. Just go away.

Which is contrary to your dream of centralized government and ad hoc rule from the bench. Federalism is premised of the dual sovereignty of the states and the federal government, with each have their own Constitutions.

But you leftists hate original intent.
