"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness". Rights listed in that order hints at how conflicts between them are to be resolved. Pursue happiness until it restricts other's liberty; enjoy liberty until you threaten someone's life.
Wisdom of the Founding Fathers lost on our current Supreme Court.

T'was painful to hear @adam & JCD argue over a 'right to dignity'
JCD was correct: it sounds like #conservativeValues
Adam also correct: it sounds like #hurtFeelings,
NAShow perspective should have been to question the terminology.
#Dignity is a bad rights foundation, basing on fickle feelings.
A correct basis is the traditional #naturalRights / #InalienableRights pre-existing the State.
Having rights violated IS undignified, but so is being told you're stupid or ugly...
