The Founding Fathers and the Supreme Court of the United States beg to differ with you...

Really?

"...are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."

Not by the Supreme Court, and certainly not by the Founding Fathers (why would they sign that offensive 'declaration thing' document otherwise? Got unalienable?)

I never said the rights were GRANTED by the Constitution - but they are certainly Constitutional rights, since they are GUARANTEED by the Constitution...

Don’t get snarky just because you can’t communicate your point clearly. What you said was just plain wrong. If you meant to say that the right was not granted by the Constitution, just say so. But to say that it is not a Constitutional right is factually incorrect. Saying it is a Constitutional right does not speak to the source of the right, but to the fact that the right is acknowledged and protected by the Constitution.

If the fact that these rights are natural rights is sufficient to protect them from the intrusion of government, why did the Founders think it necessary to include them in the Constitution at all? There are examples of governments all around the globe trampling all over these natural rights. The place where these natural right are best preserved is here in the USA - where they are also Constitutional rights.
