Just when your rights matter the most, that's when they are violated.

I never use language that your rights are taken or given back. Your rights are either respected or violated.

According to the Declaration of Independence, the sole purpose of the government is to protect our rights. anyome saying that a right should not be protected in this ornthat situation should resign their position because they openly declare that they won't honor their oath of office.

That's all assuming the premise that the constitution matters and is a binding contract between the office holder and the state.
