A law, by definition, cannot strip one of their Constitutional rights; only a Constitutional Amendment may change one’s Constitutional Rights. That said, a compliant Supreme Court can redefine what is Constitutional, but only if Congress declines to Impeach.

It would just codify that which has been in effect for decades, if not centuries.

What an absolutely godawful post. It makes absolutely zero sense and doesn’t even approach making a point.

BLUF, dude, BLUF—Bottom Line Up Front. Don’t expect me to click through three dozen links. Outline your issue, argument, and the supporting facts. Supply links as extra resources so your analysis can be verified independently.

This s**t ain’t rocket surgery.

“A law, by definition, cannot strip one of their Constitutional rights; only a Constitutional Amendment may change one’s Constitutional Rights. That said, a compliant Supreme Court can redefine what is Constitutional, but only if Congress declines to Impeach.”

‘Constitutional rights’ is a misnomer. There are no such things because the Constitution does not grant us or give us any rights. The Constitution enumerates certain rights and limits the government as to how it can interact with or infringe on those rights.

Therefore, our rights cannot be extiguished by a law or even by a Constitutional amendment because the Constitution has no authority over our rights. We, the People, are the sole authority of our rights. The Constitution limits the power and scope of government.

This is an absolute outrage! Of course, I don't know why I'm outraged but if anyone figures it out, please let me know.

You’re outraged because I posted a post twice but only clicked it once. Either that or you are outraged to learn something important has been going on decades if not centuries and you, as I, still don’t know precisely what it is. But it matters a lot. And you’re outraged.
