No, the Constitution delineates what the Federal government can and CANNOT do to protect our rights.
Read the Bill of rights and you’ll see that a FULL SIXTY percent deal with property-rights; more specifically, the intersection of property-rights and the government.

According to your theory it would be perfectly Constitutional for the border-guards to steal the ID, money, keys and even clothes from someone wanting entry to the country before turning him back.

“do to protect our rights.”

Those rights of us who are US citizens. Not Iranians, Canadians, etc...

Eric Holder had no right giving Constitutional rights to Islamic terrorists.

I cannot believe I am turning into one of the “the constitution has to be interpreted in context” sort of guys.

But, I think it does. Though of course I have no say.

The context is the enlightenment. The books Jefferson read etc.
