With respect to the constitution, it occurs to me that the issue of whether that document incorporates within it any "unarticulated rights", or indeed should be so interpreted, quite possibly underlies a fundamental difference between so-called "social liberals" and "social conservatives".


I'm not so sure about that. Social conservatives rely a lot on natural law as a basis for interpretation. Natural law is unarticulated, as well.

I think everyone reads his own moral sense into the Constitution in some fashion. Just different moral emphasis. Even strict constructionists are reading something into it in a way by insisting on articulation when it's not clear that that was intended.
