38. It is no more an 'expansion'

Than the fact that the 1st amendment applies to email and internet speech, neither of which existed in the past.

or the fact that the 4th amendment applies to electronic safes, none of which existed ...

etc. etc.

You are using illogic. If you "insist" that "giving rights" (note that rights aren't GIVEN they are recognized. Free citizens have rights that are recognized. Subjects of collectivist nations otoh are "given" (scant) right)... to new technologies (your words) is 'expansion' then the 1st and 4th have also been expanded to include the internet, computers, email, faxes, etc.

no logic. all rhetoric
