You have a good point there. There are certain God-given rights that are always retained by individuals. Even when we grant/delegate authority to a government, that transfer is at most temporary and conditioned on the proper use of such authority. Just as one cannot permanently waive the right to sue over reckless conduct, one cannot permanently give up basic human rights. The delegation or other transfer of specific powers to a government is inherently conditional on the government's proper use of the delegated powers and respect for all God-given individual rights.
What especially burns me is the unconstitutional, yet black-robe approved assignment of Article I, Section 1 legislative powers to the executive branch. Denying the consent of the people to the laws they live under constitutes rejection of our revolution.
