Of course, I does not SAY it. It does not say that I can eat chicken, watch TV and fart if I feel like it either.
You completely misunderstand the concept of the Constitution. It is not a list of things the People are allowed to do. Quite the oposite. It is a document written by citizens creating a new government who are afraid that their very creation may get out of control. They wrote the Constitution to restrict the government, to make sure that Peopl's liberties are protected against "good intent" government activism.
The Bill of Rights simply affirms the "obvious and self-evident". As a matter of fact there was a strong opposition to it, not because the opponets did not want to protect basic prople's right, but because they were afraid that the very fact that you list the "obvious and self-evidend", may be construed as an opening to a discusion of what really is obvious and self-evident. Just like you doing right now.
Again, the Constitution restrict the government's actions, not the People's. Read it and find something that restricts you.
Explain it to me how can you make an anti-discrimination law constitutional. In other words, try to reconcile AA with the 1-st Amendment.
Just because the government passes a law, does not mean that it is constitutional. As a matter of fact, the government is in business of taking our liberties away, step by step. It is always, "for the greater good". Usualy it starts good, like driver's licence or a gun license. Well of course we don't wan't an untrained person to drive a car or shoot the gun. But, how far are we from licensing speech? After all speech is pretty powerfull. It can change people's minds and it can actually change their behavior. Should we really allow just about anyone to have a right to speak his mind. Maybe we should have some kind of training first. You want to speak in public, you have to take the government's course, and then pass the test. And of course you have to comply with the speech regulation.
How is that?
Back to the topic, quote me the passage from the constitution that say I can't be a racist (or sexist or rap lover or anything else). That's the way the law works. Anything not explicitly illegal, is legal.
