By the way, RIP Ted Kennedy, you had so much more to do.

i think mssr. howard completely misses the point.
the purpose of a bill of rights is not to usurp the authority of a legislative body... but to protect the people from specified actions that may be taken by a legislative body.
so, for example, if a bill of rights guarantees the right to vote for all adults, it would not be possible for a legislature to pass a law purporting to deny that right to women.
besides, having a bill of rights works just fine for everyone else. australia is the only western industrialized country that does not have a constitutional or a legislative bill of rights.
