Do you know what "inalienable" means?

I sure do.

Apparently many of our politicians do not.

There's no indication that that's the case; however, they probably know (as some
posters in this thread apparently do not) that the phrase "inalienable rights" does
not occur in any U.S. legal document that guarantees those rights to us. It occurs in
the Declaration of Independence, which does not have the force of law. To sum it up,
it's a pretty word, but not pertinent to this discussion.
