Rights may be violated, but they still exist.

If this were the case then the 14th wouldn't have needed to add the words "without due process". No murdered could ever be executed, no robber could be jailed, no state could ever use eminent domain.

We have a few rights which cannot be imposed on even using due process (which include guns, press, religion etc.) but property rights isn;t one of them and neither is the right to smoke.

Your lack of understanding about these matters is breathtaking.

Amazing. Ignoring the previous references about the origin of rights doesn't make them go away.
