You don't seize them. Rights are already there.
Discussion
There is an important distinction between thinking the paper protects versus protecting your rights yourself. The paper tells our servants to protect our rights for us. They have not only refused that duty, but have been on the attack.
That's why it's up to each of us to exercise and protect our rights.
Perhaps I used the wrong word. I’m basically saying the paper does nothing to protect rights. Even the Bill of Rights has federal judges who interpret them to the extreme of basically doing nothing.
Yes. They can decide interpret the words in ways that are askew from the original meaning, or flat out ignore it.
The "War on Drugs" (i.e. people) is a great example of such abuse of law.
