“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.

There is a problem with the Bill of Rights- it can lead to the belief that those are our only rights.
