The constitution does not define our rights, it defines the limits on government.

Jim-

Our sad excuse for a President would strongly disagree...

"the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf."

--Barack Hussein Obama Jr, 2001

And there’s a damn good reason why it doesn’t say what the government ‘must’ do on our behalf. Because the government mustn’t do ANYthing on our behalf except provide for our national security. That’s it. Too bad Zero is too stupid (or too Marxist) to get that.

And if that government can’t or won’t provide for our national security (ie by being pc or soft on terrorists), then that government needs to STFU and know its’ place.

Government works for us, Zero. Not the other way around. WE tell government what it must or must NOT do....based on the constitution.
