They need these rights to exist on some untouchable level so they can block progress but of course, calling something a "right" doesn't instantly make it moral.

The people who wrote the constitution had the right to own slaves. Would the 2A crowd be defending slavery if it was in the constitution? Probably, but we wouldn't let them get away with it, no matter how much slave traders donated to Republicans.
