My understanding as not a lawyer, is that there exist constitutional rights that are not listed in the constitution such as the examples will_brown listed. Those examples have court cases now establishing that 'Yes indeed these are constitutional rights', however the cases did not make them constitutional rights.
You seem to be saying that the court cases are required for any right to exist if I follow what you are saying. And that I believe is false.
My apologies if I merely did not follow what you were saying.
Edit: I believe if I am misunderstanding you others might as well so clarification might not be a bad thing.
- dredmorbius 13y agoMy understanding as not a lawyer, is that there exist constitutional rights that are not listed in the constitution I've noted that in an amended edit to one of my ancestor posts above. I'd still maintain that well-formed rights should be based on precedent and/or law and/or intent. Though situations such as education (equal protection, commerce, copyright?), abortion / right to life (two opposed "rights"), etc., push the boundaries more than a bit.
