Rights no longer exist in the United States of America

A few stories from recent days before I begin. I recommend you take a look at them.

All of this goes to my premise that actual rights no longer exist.

Do you have the right to carry a firearm even if you have a permit? Not until some judge gets to weigh in on it. In the meantime you can sit in jail having been arrested by police who hold your rights in utter contempt.

Do you have the right not to be kidnapped and abducted by police just because your name is similar to someone else's? Nope, they're going to get you anyway and you'll have to have some judge weigh in on your liberty.

Do you have the right not to be murdered by police just because they're afraid? Nope, the officer has more rights than you do and his department will support him if he kills someone in error.

In short, you think of whatever "right" you think you have and then realize that if tested by the police or other people in power you'll either submit to them or die.

Rights no longer exist.

Freedom of Speech? Nope, that died during COVID.

The Right to Vote? That got erased by fraud in 2020.

The Right to Own property? Nope, civil asset forfeiture did away with that one.

If the police show up on your property and demand entry to your home can you kill them if they enter without a warrant?

That's a serious question.

See, if they enter without a warrant then they ostensibly have no authority to enter your home. And as mere armed intruders you supposedly have the right to defend yourself with necessary force.

Except that you don't.

Your entire set of rights is worthless if a cop feels like violating them. And then to add insult to injury you're expected to submit to this injustice until such time as a judge will get to rule on your rights and whether they exist.

In short, rights no longer exist because if you act to assert those rights you'll likely end up dead.

Think about it.

The only Rights enshrined in the Constitution are those granted to Treaty Tribes. All non-treaty people have mere privileges which can be revoked at any given time - SCOTUS. That non-treaty people believe they have inviolate rights is an illusion that is slowly being revealed.

Only since 1865. Prior to that, we had rights.

Our rights come from God.

The US Constitution enumerates the rights given to the Federal Government by the states and the people.

Those rights not enumerated in the US Constitution are presumed to belong to the States or to the People.

This is a fundamental outlook upon the nature of Government.  The Federal Government does not provide God-given rights of the People and nor rights to State Governments.  The Federal Government infringes upon those rights and must be provided consent to do so by the States and the People for it to be Constitutionally valid.

There you have it.
The Rights exist, unalienable.
 
Among honorable people, who took seriously their oath to the selfsame Constitution that limits the actions of government to infringe on those rights there would be no need to constantly assert those rights and put that assertion and practice at the mercy of the courts.

Unfortunately, there are few honorable people in Government.

Treaty Tribe Rights are enshrined in the body of the Constitution. It was that way from the beginning. 1865 had nothing to do with it.

Unless you discount the 3 rulings by SCOTUS that the so-called "rights" for non-Indians are actually privileges, you would be correct. Unfortunately, the Founding Fathers saw it differently than we do today; they bent over backwards to make peace with the Tribes, enshrining their Rights was the only way they thought it could be done. The 10 original Amendments were an afterthought, so to speak.

Rights descend from God first to the Tribes and any leftovers are doled out to all others as privileges, mistakenly called "rights". That is SCOTUS' interpretation, like it or not. SCOTUS rarely rules against the Tribes in any case brought before in involving the Tribes. I've only heard of one involving the ND Sioux over taxation several decades ago.

I know everyone will go wild at the above, but unless you bother to read case law in that area, you only have opinions of others to go on. Everyone has an opinion, therefore opinions are mostly worthless and entertainment value only.
