Just wondering: Sunday edition

It seems to me that while the Bill of Rights serves to codify rights that people inherently have, while acknowledging in the 9th Amendment that other rights exist that may not be covered therein, Republicans have decided that the Bill of Rights is there to take rights away.

First they supported a Constitutional Amendment to BAN flag burning. Most conservatives support an Amendment BANNING gay marriage. Now, Rick Santorum, the wingnuts' favorite poster boy, says on This Weak that he favors one BANNING abortion. Presumably he'd also like one BANNING contraception, since he thinks Griswold vs. Connecticut was poorly reasoned.

Isn't using the Constitution to forbid things flying in the face of a Bill of RIGHTS?
