		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Now another hint, there is NO amendment that guarantees your right to vote. Those amendments bar states from blocking access to vote based on specific criteria only.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;s the kind of technical BS that was also used by Alberto &quot;I don&#039;t remember&quot; Gonzales when he said, &quot;There is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution; there’s a prohibition against taking it away.&quot;

Not mentioning it explicitly, in this case, and like Habeas Corpus, means that the right is implicit. There is no need to write down that it is a right because it is implied throughout the document that it is. All citizens have the right to vote. 

Some rights are just so basic to the system that they don&#039;t &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; enumeration. Voting is one of them. It&#039;s built into the foundation of the constitution. WHAT is being voted on is another question, and one that we both know merits much more discourse, particularly when it comes to congress.</description>
