I just skimmed to get here... but I can flatly state that I don't like any reading of the Constitution that grants rights to anyone.
A lot of people in this thread would do well to realize this.
It has nothing to do with God-given, or being given rights, or any of this. It is a contract with the people that the government will respect these rights and uphold them, FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING GOVERNED.
The esoteric concept of what rights are and where they come from are ultimately irrelevant to the discussion in every single capacity.
