Actually this is covered directly by Amendment 9


"The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

In other words listing of certain inalienable rights in our constitution shall not be a reason to deny the people any or all of their other rights - that they already have.

Your view would pass the younger generation's practical eye test on what they view their "rights" are but would completely fail in law/logic.

  Your first two sentences are contradictory: -- ModerateHokie 08/10/2018 12:04PM
  No ... they are not -- Beerman 08/10/2018 12:06PM
  From a strictly legal sense, that is correct -- Tafkam Hokie 08/10/2018 12:50PM
  I agree with the possible exception of Kaep -- VTSnake 08/10/2018 12:27PM
  I doubt seriously that it's the case -- Beerman 08/10/2018 12:31PM
  So jail time is the deciding factor? LOL ** -- ModerateHokie 08/10/2018 12:08PM
  I'm curious as to your definition of rights -- Beerman 08/10/2018 12:14PM
  It is PROTECTED by the govt. ** -- ModerateHokie 08/10/2018 12:23PM
  You have a fundamentally incorrect view on rights -- VTSnake 08/10/2018 12:40PM
  Ok pal. If you say so. -- ModerateHokie 08/10/2018 12:42PM
  I should have been clearer -- VTSnake 08/10/2018 12:58PM

  Declaration of Independence references inalienable rights -- Tafkam Hokie 08/10/2018 1:42PM
  So then free speech is not a right? -- Beerman 08/10/2018 12:19PM
  I think you just proved Moderate’s point. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 08/10/2018 11:41AM
  I don't see how -- VTSnake 08/10/2018 11:51AM
  The government cannot take away a right? Really? -- ModerateHokie 08/10/2018 12:01PM
  Point taken ** -- VTSnake 08/10/2018 12:04PM

  It's one that we've given up. -- Beerman 08/10/2018 12:36PM
  If you've given it up, then you no longer have that right! -- ModerateHokie 08/10/2018 12:46PM
  You are equating right with "ability" ** -- ModerateHokie 08/10/2018 9:45PM
  Lol -- Beerman 08/10/2018 12:51PM
  Unfortunately the semantics DO matter -- Beerman 08/10/2018 12:56PM
