re: #281 FabioC.

No, the Constitution does NOT enumerate the rights of the people. The bill of rights (the first ten amendments) do set forth certain specific rights of the people, as a safety measure against government’s tendency to expand its power, but the Constitution clearly states that all rights not specifially granted to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved to the states, or the people.

As has been discussed here at LGF at length, Jindal and his team picked out a small, cheap-by-government standards, and actually useful research project to mock. There were lots of truly hideous, expensive, and wasteful projects earmarked that he could have mocked, but instead he mocked a science project. And since he’s a creationist who signed the forced teaching of creationism into law, he does not deserve the benefit of the doubt regarding his attitude towards science.
