(19,497 posts)You don't have the right to free speech and religion and a guard against unreasonable search and seizure because some people somewhere were once beneficient. Those rights pre-exist the Constitution and will continue to exist even after the Constitution is merely a footnote in history.
I don't need "Right X" to be described in the Constitution. You have no right to impose yourself on other people's lives.
It is extremely telling -- and by no small measure, hypocritical -- for you to use your rights of free speech/conscience to badger and hector people with non-existent, unrecognized legal arguments to abrogate the rights of others to be allowed to live their lives without incessant meddling. Why should we recognize your right to speak when your only exercise of it seems to further separate others from their rights? By what authority do you claim the perogative to dictate how other people live their lives and why should any of the rest of us care? You certainly do not deserve the power of law, which is the power to arrest, fine and imprison, over such a ridiculous demand.
