#30 sigintel: “These rights are “channeled” to us from God via the Constitution.”

An oft repeated fallacy. One constantly being used to limit our rights. Our rights are not enumerated in The Constitution. Certainly not “channeled” via it. They are innate. Existing simply because you exist. With or without a constitution or government you still have them. And most certainly not limited to what was listed in the Constitution. The 9th Amendment, probably the most important, yet most ignored: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
