" Even constitutional rights have limitations."

I happen to see alot of sense in most of your arguments, though often we're standing on opposite sides of any given issue, but I feel the need to expound on this briefly.

There are no limits on rights as such, there are regulations to ensure that those rights are not abused. A right is not something one is given by the law, it is something that the law cannot take away -This disctinction, I believe, is fundamentally important in understanding a constitutional republic such as ours. However, if rights were to be used in such a way as to undermine their intended purpose (a purpose I'm quite confident I don't need to explain to you), it would create a precident by which rights could then be undermined, restricted or abolished.
