Is (straight) marriage a legal right in USA? Is it "inherent to your being"? Is the state forced to give you a free marriage service?
If the USA wants to call everything "freedoms", and only consider rights those that are in the original Bill of Rights, that's their prerogative. It's also merely arguing (regional) semantics and irrelevant to what the rest of the world considers rights, which may just very well be "something that nobody can keep you from doing or getting".
Are "visitation rights" inherent? That means that custody of kids during divorce inherent, which would make divorce inherent too. Or visiting your family at a hospital?
"nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb"
Does that mean that double-jeopardy rights are inherent? How come? That doesn't make any sense.
So, as long as you're allowed to walk, everything is alright and no right have been infringed? Nobody is stopping you at any checkpoint, it's just that for any intents and purpose, you've been deprived of any practical modern way of travel. You need to travel to the other side of the country? No problem, just walk there! It'll take you a few months, maybe a year, tops. Your job will probably be waiting for you when you came back.
Communication/free speech is a right? Yes? But maybe you can be put on a "no writing list", so you can still walk up to people and talk to them. Just not type them an email or write for a newspaper or send a telegram. How would you like that? Or kicked off the internet, which many are trying to do. Add you to the "no phone list" too. After all, telephones probably weren't what the "founding fathers" were thinking about, so it's OK to ban you from using one. They're not taking away your vocal cords or preventing you from using sign language!
Is Mike preventing you from seeing the whole interview? Is he in front of your computer screen covering the whole thing up? That's a really stupid comment even from you. It must be Tuesday.
So, according to you, CDs should have been banned, because they could have caused confusion! People may have tried to insert them in their cassette players, and damaged them! And when asked, they would say "sorry, Judge, I thought it was a cassette tape! it's clearly the manufacturer's fault!"
You have to be a lawyer to be able to answer if you're a lawyer or not. Because if you're not a lawyer, you might be a lawyer and not realize it, because of your lack of lawyer powers to detect lawyers.
The Anti-Mike waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were Mikes in the internets. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Michial Thompson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
TAM was a shill for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the RIAA and he said to dad "I want to be on the companies daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE SHOUTED DOWN BY MIKES"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the internets site of the Techdirt he knew there were Mikes.
"This is Thompson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the Mikes!"
So TAM gotted his flaem keyboard and blew up the firewall.
"HE GOING TO FLAME US" said the readers
"I will shut him up" said the commenter and he fired the report button. TAM flamed at him and tried to shout him down. But then the connection fell and they were trapped and not able to flame.
"No! I must flame the asshole" he shouted
The internets said "No, TAM. You are the asshole"
And then TAM was a troll.
