The federal gov't didn't grant Inalienable rights and therefore cannot protect them..
The federal government can ONLY alienate them..

It was the original states acting severally, IOW, federally, who endeavored to define a government which would protect those unalienable rights. The formation of that government was their singular purpose in uniting, and the protection of those unalienable rights was their foremost, and also the very heart of their agreement.

If this, the equal protection of unalienable rights under law (all men are endowed by their Creator), the very first cause of Union (federation), is not a federal issue, then there is no cause for federation at all.
