Your arbitrariness and denial of the Constitution's basis in nature rather than in the stipulation of men denigrates this nation's founding document and the men who created it."

Total undadulterated BlindnesS to what I am saying. The Constitution is a legal document, while the Declaration is an emotional one. Even so, the Constitution has quite a basis in nature. Its original checks and balances were a near perfect structure that reflected the nature of man. It is not natural for a free lawyer to be granted to a scumbag like a foreign terrorist on our soil. Enemy soldiers on our soil have no guarantee of rights under the Bill of Rights. Barr made no such exceptions.

You had said,

You therefore, obviously, have to read more than just the Bill of Rights to interpret correctly who is meant by "person".

I've repeatedly read the Bill of Rights, DoI, USC, and other documents reflecting the thoughts of the Founders and have nowhere seen where they concluded that nation of origin determined whether or not one was a "person" (as YOU say) and thus "endowed by their creator".

Excuse me if I'm blind to your thinking, but I'm limitted by what you write. Maybe you should try making the two coincide.
