It might make you feel good thinking it's such but that's an illusion.


Nope -- you're wrong. Someone's else's actions don't remove the existence of a legal, Cponstitutional right. They may destroy your ability, your possesions, or even your life -- but that doesn't change the Constitution -- just what happenened to you. The 15-day waiting period is a good example. It violates the Constitution and thus your rights, but your rights still exist. They're being violated, but they still exist.

It's a fine distinction in language, but it's a crucial one.
