You might want to brush up on your constitution, particularly the bill of rights which tells us that all of our rights may be lost through due process.
Once again the rights you have are granted by SCOTUS not the constitution.
How is it that blacks could not go to their local school if they had all these rights granted by the constitution?
How is it that gays could not marry if they had all these rights?
SCOTUS grants rights based upon the constitution.

Scotus doesn’t grant rights, the constitution does. The SCOTUS is not empowered to either create rights out of nothing nor to pass laws or rewrite The Constitution.

The Constitution does not grant rights, it guarantees them. Our rights were granted by our Creator. That said, rights that aren’t listed in the Constitution can still be rights (see the 9th Amendment).
Amendment IX:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Yet Black people now have the right to send their child to their local public school.
and gays have the right to marry.
So what did SCOTUS opinion do if it did not affect rights of citizens?
Allan
It found those rights preexisting in The 14th Amendment.
Correct, certain rights, our unalienable rights are preexisting and come from the creator. Not all rights however do, some are a creation of law. That would be the difference in constitutional rights and legal rights.
I stand corrected though on the previous answer.
and what about the time before they issued their opinion.
Allan
They still existed but were not recognized.
If you want easy, read the Fifth Amendment. Under due process, you can have property, liberty and rights taken from you.
Not true. The checks were done, they (a Florida official) simply did not withhold the permits for those 291 that the BC said should be refused.
Rights are not granted by the SCOTUS or the Constitution. The rights enumerated in the Constitution are recognized as preexisting and protected by the Constitution and the SCOTUS oversees to ensure that the government does not overstep its bounds.
The Constitution does NOT grant rights. The Constitution protects rights already belonging to the people.
Back at you.
Actually there. But there’s nothing in there about a license to exercise a right.
All the SCOUS did there was to clarify that blacks and gays are people and, therefore, have the same rights under the Constitution as all othe people. No new rights were established for anyone.
Isn’t it obvious to you? The Government was in violation of those people’s rights.
And liberals love illegals and care more about them than citizens.
What’s your point?
Are you under the impression that a permit is required to shoot people? Or that it somehow prevents people from being shot?
Lets see we are talking about bad people who should not be going around florida with a concealed weapon per Florida law,
