Just because you think something should be a right doesn't make it so. I would like to make the right not to live on the streets, ending homelessness, but that doesn't make it so.

like habeus corpus isn't a right, because it isn't specifically called a right. freedom of the press only belongs to 'authorized journalists'. right to privacy only exists if you live in a safe room.
the idiotic ideas nowadays of what is and isn't a right would make the founders of this country throw up in disgust.

Or are you against taking away voting privileges also?

After all, the dead in chicago get to vote, why don't all the others?
