"Now you are proving my point by listing restrictions."
Yes, restrictions on the government, not the rights of the people.
You bet there are restrictions on Gov't and they are clearly spelled out in Constitutions. Constitutions also specify the existence of legislatures who put restrictions on people's rights (like it or not and many I do not). Otherwise why are legislatures needed at all - to pass laws? I listed a bunch of outrageous things so you'd see that anyone can claim anything is a civil right. That's how we ened up with judges "discovering" new rights in the Constitution that can't be legislated against. I agree with most of your asssertions about your rights but many do not. My only point is that there is no restriction on Government to legislate about things they aren't specifically prohibited from doing. There is a reason that the founders set up legislatures.
