2nd Bill of Rights
Obama's socialist income redistribution inclinations have brought up fresh discussion of FDR's "Second Bill of Rights." Here's a nice liberal Rorshach test: which of these do you agree ought to be added to the Constitution?

No takers from any Democrats/Obama voters? Not even the right to medical care or education?

Care to point out where the Constitution guarantees the right to a good education, and the right to health care?

Our society should enable people to obtain all of those things; it doesn't mean they should be handed to them. |

There are those who have more difficulty in obtaining those things, but the opportunity is always there.

All of the states offer public education, which opens the door for government regulation of education, most specifically through anti-discrimination provisions. The same result is arrived at through a round about way.

Do you or do you not believe the Constitution currently guarantees a right to education and medical care (or anything else on FDR's list), and if not, should it?
