I wouldn't pull the trigger. But we would indeed be better off if only people with IQ at least one standard deviation above the mean could vote.

No. And certainly not concerning abortion, which was not a right entrenched in our nation and traditions.kalm wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 4:31 amWouldn’t autonomy over one’s body be included?

But the Ninth Amendment is not a bottomless cookie jar of non-enumerated rights. As the Court has said, the Ninth Amendment protects a very narrow class of rights, firmly entrenched and identifiable within the nation's traditions, and which existed within the common law at the time the constitution was ratified (marriage, parental rights, and other rights of that nature).
But this is a great question, because it addresses a critical point. There is no GENERAL privacy right within the constitution, although certain privacy expectations are protected in specific ways. For example, you are protected in your person and your home from searches and seizures, unless a warrant has been issued.
However, state constitutions ALL have some provision concerning the scope of personal privacy. You hold these rights by virtue of your citizenship of your home state, not as a citizen of the United States.
People have completely lost sight on all the federal constitution and the state constitutions are supposed to work hand in hand. The Founders would have understood that if a woman has a right to an abortion, that right exists under state law.

https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2022/06 ... ns-n479625Let’s start with the Politico column from NYU law school official Alicia Bannon, who reveals that states have sovereign governments and constitutions, too:
First, congratulations on discovering federalism and the Ninth and Tenth Amendments in 2022. Second, the “primary bulwark” for the protection of rights isn’t the Supreme Court, but the Constitution itself. The Roe court arrogated that position by discovering a supposed constitutional right for something not even mentioned in the Constitution, so the confusion is understandable — although maybe less so from the director of a Judiciary Program at NYU Law. Adherence to the Constitution by the judiciary is a constitutional responsibility, so even the “bulwark” efforts by judges still have their basis in the Constitution, not the subordinate offices it creates.The Supreme Court’s rulings, based on the U.S. Constitution and the justices’ interpretation of federal law, have long been viewed as the primary bulwark for the rights that Americans enjoy.
But the federal courts are only part of the story. The United States is also governed by 50 state constitutions, each of which can potentially offer greater rights protections than the federal constitution.

Congress did not give them unilateral authority, which is how the EPA has been acting since the 90's.
