Everyone is entitled to their opinions on what the law ought to be, but the judge gets to tell you what the law is. Most judges would not be impressed by many of the legal theories advanced in this thread. Maybe they'd all be dead wrong, but just bear that in mind before you decide that your unalienable, natural, god-given, bestowed-at-birth rights trump a current statute, regulation, or body of case law.
I think the issue many of us have is that we feel through intuition or Godly blessings that we, as human beings, have certain dignities that it is immoral to strip away, and feel that we have a certain innate value that others should respect. Many of these intuitions are encapsulated in the United States Constitution, and its broad application and recognition of that instinctual desire for freedom is what makes it so venerable in the eyes of many. We look at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments, as well as the preamble, A.1 Sec. 9 C. 2, and other sections of the Constitution, and feel that it embodies many of those freedoms to which we justly feel entitled.
We then have a serious issue when another does not interpret those sections in the way we think they should be read. Not only b/c it is suspect for some Judge to render his reading that way, but because we know in our hearts that something which is OURS, something that belongs to ME, is being taken away by some person who doesn't even know me, has never met me, and worst of all, probably doesn't even dislike me.
Yes, some Judge interpreting only on natural rights wouldn't be bound by much other than his own conscience. However, it is the simple fact that many of what we feel are "Natural rights," or, those rights which we come by naturally, which are not given by anyone, and come free by the grace of God, that those rights are embodied in the Constitution, and then stripped away, which generates talk of "natural rights." No one here thinks that we should have no framework for government, and that some omniscient Judge will be presiding over the fates of all mankind with no guide except for "natural rights." The guide is the Constitution and its wording, and that just so happens to embody many "natural rights."
