pursuit of happiness and personal liberty are not in the constitution, those are delineated in the Declaration of Independence, which does not hold the weight of law behind it.  though in the Bill or rights there is a provision in the 5th amendment which should cover it though there are some problems with definition to consider.  "No person shall...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."  The problem with definition comes with two clauses 1) due process - how do we define due process, would a large tax increase be due process?  legally - yes - as it was voted on by the legislatures.  2) just compensation - is redistribution of wealth just compensation?  I would argue no, but many in our legislatures and this administration would argue yes.  These are what should be argued when discussing constitutionality.  Now universal health care might have to use another argument because it could be argued that there is just compensation.

The Obama thesis is a hoax.  Rush talked out it yesterday (10/27).

Ignorant Media Misses Our Satiric Tweak on the Obama Thesis Hoax
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_102709/content/01125107.guest.html

Quoting Rush:

So we ran with it, made a big deal out of it in the first hour.  In the second hour, I got a note saying, "Hey, Rush, we looked at this, we can't back this up, we can't find any actual sourcing for this."  So at that point I warned the audience that it may not be true, that we are still checking it. 

Shortly thereafter I learned that the whole thing was made up, it was a satire piece on an obscure website.  Then I said, "Okay, folks, I have to tell you, it's satire, there's no evidence that Obama ever wrote this, but, Media Tweak of the Day, I don't care, I know he thinks it anyway because I've got audio of Obama saying it, talking about the Supreme Court."  And we all got a great laugh about it because I corrected it immediately, I explained that it was a hoax, or was satire and then to tweak the media I said, "But I don't care, I'm sticking with it because I know he thinks it anyway."  So I dished out to Obama what the whole media did to me and I dished it back at the media as well.  And Koko at the website called me on Friday here, e-mailed me, said, "Look, you want me to leave this thing up?"  I said "Yes, leave it on the website as is, so these idiot media people who want to find out what actually happened can go in and take the time to read it and see it.  And leave the original piece up where I got the first information that this was something he had written in his thesis."  So here is yesterday morning, Monday morning, 1010WINS in New York, a montage of correspondent Alice Stockton-Rossini's report about this.

 Here's the straight story on the latest Rush is a Racist story as well. The part that stuns me is it seems to open with Olberman (D) DEFENDING Rush ! Actually it's about a minute in.
