He said that someone in the Georgia legislature voted against the Bill of rights (when the amendment was put to the Georgia legislature for a vote) claiming that if the rights were written down that some idiot would later claim that the rights written down were the only ones that existed.

Anyone know if this is true. Anyone have the real quote?
I believe that is why there was an 11th Amendment, in part -- in addition to the concern for States Rights.
