Surely the judge, in all his wisdom, should at least have a basic understanding of the constitution. If not, then he needs to be removed from the bench.
You'll have to cite the specific amendment you're referring to here, as I'm not aware of any such amendment addressing the question. (And while it's been a while, I'm reasonably confident that it's not in the original constitution, from what memory serves.)
According to the Bill of Rights: All citizens have the right to "life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
Article 26, which was quoted by wyrd, a few posts above, would logically include those things.
