Harry, I would think that a legitimate position would be that since it isn't explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, that it's actually a right retained by the people. I understand the Constitution to be a bare minimum for the government, not the people's rights. That's possibly what phyzix might have heard someone basing their argument on.
