45. Mr. Raskin, as a fellow Democrat, I have to remind you that you're the constitutionalist.

Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992)

Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

167,230,000 females fixed that for you, Mr. Raskin.

EVEN LAURENCE TRIBE BRINGS UP THE NINTH AMENDMENT.

As Obama the constitution professor would say, come ON. You're not helpless.

Have the House and Senate ENUMERATE the rights that the Constitution doesn't.

Then see if SCOTUS strikes them down. They won't.

But they won't advise you and Congress on what rights to enumerate in the new law, either.
