I repeat , take a fucking civics class. UNLESS the COTUS absolutely positively and unequivocally states that the government can NOT abridge a right then even something that is a right it can be abridged without it being a violation of the COTUS.
Ex: The SCOTUS has ruled that you have a right to an abortion. However that does not mean the government can not abridge that right in certain circumstances.
Get a grip man.
Wrong.
Then why need the Bill of Rights at all you idiot? Why not just say ALL rights are protected? Oh that's right, b/c they aren't. And that's not even discussing the fact that you simply don't have a right to access federal property; which you don't.
That was actually Madison's argument. He argued that the Bill of Rights wasn't necessary because the Constitution, as it was intended, already protected all of those rights. The Anti-Federalists, however, said that without explicitly stating these rights the Constitution could easily be interpreted in a different way, so Madison relented and gave them a Bill of Rights. Since we know that the Constitution is constantly interpreted differently from its original intent we should be thankful that nobody listened to Madison.
