"Jamin Raskin: People believe there is a constitutional right to vote. People believe there is a constitutional right to an education. Most people assume that states have to guarantee equal funding for public schools. All of those beliefs are rejected by the Supreme Court."
"Right" to vote does not exist. Voting is a franchise (privilege) which must be selectively granted and can be revoked for cause. The notion that it is a right has done much damage by enfranchising people who have no stake in preserving the republic, but wish to loot it through entitlement programs funded by taxpayers. Historically, republics enter a decline when the voters discover the use of the State as a tool for robbing others. That is what we now see in America. A "right" to an education, funding for public schools, etc. is an obvious absurdity. Resources have to be provided to fund the exercise of those "rights." Those resources are stolen from taxpayers or confiscated from property owners. What about THEIR rights to be secure in their property and in the fruits of their labor? Any "right" that requires the equal and reciprocal rights of others to be violated is obviously no right at all. QED. Supreme Court: 2 Raskin: 0 Marc de Piolenc ------------------------ Yahoo!
