Not to mention the specific clause that states things must not only fall within the textual provisions of the document but also the spirit with which it was written.

This is news to me.

Which clause would that be?
- ScottBurson 12y ago
  I suspect 'ztratar is referring, albeit not terribly articulately, to the Ninth Amendment.

    Why was this downvoted? If it's nonsense, could someone have the good graces to say why?

    Maybe, but the Ninth is about limiting the document's scope relating to a subtlety of logic ("not explicitly permitted" != "forbidden "), nothing to do with "spirit"
