Reading is fundamental.
You cannot vote away UNALIENABLE rights. Please look up the word unalienable.

We always permit women to marry horses. The men are too busy digging tunnels.

You need to make the point with a concrete example: the inalienable right to liberty was voted away when slavery was sanctioned; the inalienable right to trial, etc. was voted away by the president and then his vote was ratified by Congress. |

I hadn't realized it, but the California Supreme Court has only one judge appointed by a Democrat (Moreno appointed by Gray Davis) so the Republican appointed justices split 3-3 on the decision.
So, no matter what your view, you can say three Republicans were legislating from the bench.
