Just as the title says. Which Constitutional "Rights" do you not care about or don't support?

A lot of US Citizens and "people" in the US do not truly understand their Rights. I have seen the watering down of Rights, the abuse of Rights and the flat out ignorance of Rights. Bottomline, most people are stupid and don't understand. Here is my list.

- You cannot convince me that "Freedom of Speech" gives you some Right to say whatever you want without consequence. So tired of people hiding behind this. This includes freedom of the press. Fucking these people if they won't report the unbiased truth. They should lose their FCC license and right to call themselves "News". They should be labeled for entertainment purposes only unless they actually report the whole truth.
- Protesting. This is my least favorite and absolutely do not support protesting. It's annoying, a general waste of time and a complete inconvenience to others. It has become an excuse to riot, loot, and be held accountable for one's actions. Even when protesting "meant" something (civil rights movement, anti war, etc...) I still never supported it. Get out, educate people, write your elected officials, run for office, be constructive and do something of value. Throwing a sign in front of people and obstructing their freedom for yours is a crime and should be punished as such. I fully support what FL and OK have done with protecting people running these people over. I wish this was a 50 state law. ZERO Empathy for those that get injured or dying blocking other's freedoms.
- Birthright Citizenship. This should be removed. It's not written well, gets abused by illegals and birth tourists. AND...quite honestly, most Americans do not value being American. You should have to earn Citizenship through 2 years of service to America (civicly, socially or militarily). We should have "residency" and "citizenship" classifications. You can still be born here and stay here...but not receive benefits that citizens get by earning their citizenship. I have a whole manifesto on this.
- Civil Service protections, elected official protections...scrap all this bullshit.
- Rewrite the 9th Amendment. This is too vague and needs more definition.
- Rewrite the 27th Amendment. This is also too vague. Congress should not get paid unless they balance budgets, pay down the debt and actually fucking serve America and the American people.

And I think we can all agree, we need to rethink the 19th Amendment....joking....kind of...
 
As George Carlin once said: “Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of temporary privileges.”
 
The only thing I currently care about is Term Limits. It needs to be instituted and get rid of these career politicians. That is the only true way of draining the swamp. It should also include limiting their benefits from service. There is no way a politician should be entitled to their salary for life just because they served.
 
These days, the 4th Amendment. I have a friend, who was born here, but is brown (Argentinian family). Doesn't speak Spanish and travels the world for business and fun and is constantly overseas. Couple weeks back, he's coming home from Europe and has a layover in NYC. Customs decides they need to see his phone and basically threatens to delay his layover and miss his connecting flight unless he opens it for them. 2 hours later they let him go. A fucking American Citizen carrying his passport.
