RE :”No, YOU misread the constitution. And have it ass backwards, as well as the Declaration of Independence. Our rights, life, liberty are given to us by our creator.

AGAIN:

The constitution protects you from the government, not you from your parents. That was left to the states. If it was the federal governments job in the US constitution to protect you from your parents, it would make perfect sense for the Federal government to force you to go to a doctor and get medical treatment(even if you are not a threat), to protect you from you letting yourself get sick.

The US constitution was not interpreted as you do as all powerful until Roosevelt packed the courts.

Nonsense. NO entity, mom, State, Uncle Mo, gets to violate another’s constitutional rights.

Can the KKK set up road blocks to keep blacks from voting if SC decides it likes the KKK.

Can Oregon allow doctors to execute any patient over 65 who needs a knee replacement?

Can Hawaii turn a blind eye if the ‘native’ population goes on a vigilante confiscation of “whitey” property?

Your medical treatment example is a straw man. The constitution does not address medical care, and therefore that is (or needs to be) entirely a state/individual matter. Just as SHOULD be 80% of what the feds have put their paws in.

The Constitution does address voting, gun ownership, LIFE, property, due process, etc etc, which neither the states, nor towns, nor counties, not homeowners associations, nor vigilantes, nor cousin Zeke, can violate.
