Turbin's freudian slip...

On the Fox News Channel, they played a clip of Senator Dick Turbin saying that he was pleased with his meeting today with Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito.

Turbin said, referring to the abortion debate, that he felt Samuel Alito recognized the "unenumerated right" in the Constituton to "privacy", the left's code word for abortion.

From the San Jose Mercury News:

"Although he didn't go quite as far as John Roberts did in his hearing, he satisfied me that he recognized this to be one of the unenumerated rights in the Constitution, and he led me to believe that he felt that it was an established right," Durbin said. "I think he believes in the fundamental right to privacy."

Perhaps I'm missing the boat here, but isn't "unenumerated" another word for non-existent?
