The BOR is a list of inalienable rights that the govt is to leave alone, not "granted" by the govt. This continuous litany of "granted rights" is as bogus as the "we are a democracy" rubbish.

That, combined with the fact that "the people" are the same group in all of the BOR and...

Viola!!!!

Emerson is moot - the fedgov has no jurisdiction.

Period. Fini. End of story, etc.

Well, I follow you; but I would add that it is the Feds' business to decide whether a breach of those right occurred. The 5th C decision was initiated by the suit of the defendant who alledged a violation per Lautenburg. I vigorously agree with the defendant's position.

I would also add that the Fed Courts have been remiss in their duty to defend that same BOR , generally: chosing to defer to the States rather than to intervene where they should have, when patently dubious state legislation interferes with rights guaranteed by the Fed charter.
