David Codrea's brief comments on a topic that many people probably think is "in the weeds", but is really essential to understanding where our "rights" come from and what government may or may do regarding them, even if one branch of government (judiciary), whose members are appointed by the other branches of government (executive with legislature approval) specifically to do their bidding, disagree and think they ARE "alienable".

The One from whom all blessings flow…? The guy sure has a high opinion of himself.
“The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms,” Barack Obama’s White House asserts on its website page explaining the Bill of Rights. If you believe that, then you agree with the totalitarian lobby worldview that “the government giveth, the government taketh away” is the way things ought to be.

You’d think someone who brags about teaching Constitutional law would know that unalienable rights are not revocable privileges bestowed by government, but are, per the Founders, endowed by our Creator (or, to keep things in a secular context, inherent to the condition of being human). You’d think someone who represents himself as operating within the framework of Constitutional law would know that the Supreme Court reiterated in Heller:
"As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876), “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence."
