"Do you persist in these word games"

Word games? The U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court treat rights differently depending on whether they are inalienable, fundamental, or natural.

An inalienable right (like life, liberty or property) can only be taken by individual due process (ie., a court of law). It cannot be taken by a majority vote in the legislature.

Words mean things. You're throwing them around like confetti.
