Amen!

Millennials at work were discussing the 1st amendment. I informed them the Constitution didn’t give us the Freedom of Speech, that it was an inalienable right. God given.

The first 5 words of the 1st...Congress shall make no law

That says it all.

The Constitution doesn’t limit us, it limits the ruling elites. That’s it’s sole purpose.

That was the big debate between the federalist and anti-federalist. The anti-federalist wanted the Bill of Rights to limit government and list our natural rights, while the federalist assumed those rights and thought no government would ever take them away. (yeah right)

I’m 32; I’d have a fun discussion with them about natural rights.

Sorry to everyone for bumping this thread.
