Is that what the Japanese-Americans were told in 1942?Because our rights are inalienable, they can be neither bestowed nor taken by any government, constitution, or man.We all seem to think our constitutional rights are etched in stone and cannot be violated. In fact they are at the whim of politicians who can justify taking them away with a stroke of the pen. George Carlin had an opinion on that..you think your rights are inviolate. He said if you do just go to Wikipedia and in the search box type in..Japanese-Americans 1942
Although inalienable, our rights are not absolute – they’re subject to limits and restrictions by government consistent with Constitutional case law.
Laws and measures that limit or restrict a right consistent with the Constitution do not ‘take away’ one’s rights.
