Not just reading things in to the constitution that I wouldn't see in it, or that someone like Robert Bork wouldn't see in it, but things that you wouldn't see in it either. Sure, I can see folks reading the right to child care or shelter or health care into it. Those things are a given in Europe. Maybe what we need is a constitutional amendment enumerating all those unenumerated natural and human rights. Then we'd be good to go. <g>

If you want to try this, what you do is compare each of the eighteen terminal values against each other and make a forced choice of which is more important. Then you count how many times you chose each value to rank order them. Then repeat for the instrumental values.
