That's the cogent point. A right does not need justification.

Of course do we really have any rights?

If the government believes it has the authority to change it, then it is not a right but a government granted privilege.

If the Founding Dudes intended it as such, they were capable of entitling that addition piece of paper, the "Bill of Privileges" .

So when it is right for a right to not be a right?
