Its not just the Liberals in the Supreme court inventing rights, the Liberals in Congress could be forcing Americans to buy health insurance that some law makers is calling unconstitutional and lord knows all the things unconstitutional going on in the White House under the leadership of Barack Obama.
Can you imagine how many people Scalia angered with those comments?
At least all the far left liberals!
So true GTP, so true. Ex post facto law, the “legal” taking of rights for less than felony’s, and private property rights just to name a few things they have done in recent history.
