Interesting legal philosophy.
By your reasoning then the 21st amendment cannot diminish the 18th amendment. I know it's early but I need a drink. But then according to your legal philosophy I can't have one....
You have rights but you can be deprived of them by due process of the law. Furthermore, no right is absolute. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater and call it free speech. Human sacrifice and "honor killings" are not tolerated as religious practices.
By “use” I meant “interpret”, not the process of amending the constitution.
If you use the “To regulate commerce” clause of the constitution to ban the ownership of guns because guns are produced commercially and are shipped across state lines, then the 2nd amendment is useless............
