"Glass elaborated on the Bill, saying that the objective of adding the right to own, hold, and use digital currencies to the Texas Bill of Rights "is to make a case in the federal judiciary to invoke the 9th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which says that there are other natural rights besides those in the first 8 amendments.” "The Texas Constitutional Enforcement group added that the use of cash substitutes is "essential" for protecting Texans' financial privacy."
- The claim is privacy and protection. Not sure if it is totally a red herring but likely dubious implementation.
