A right is either: Something specifically mentioned as a right in the constitution.

well now you're falling in to the same logical trap that has been laid for decades....that it isn't a right unless it's in the constitution but nothing could be further from the truth. The constitution, even any state constitution, is a prescribed set of specific and enumerated powers that the people have given to the government. Anything outside of those powers specifically enumerated is not a power of the government, but a right or power specifically belonging to the people.
