SCOTUS: Rights are granted exclusively by Congress
#1
If the legislation does not clearly specify the right, then you don't get one. Now bug off.

Supreme Court rules for South Carolina in its bid to defund Planned Parenthood

"Congress knows how to give a grantee clear and unambiguous notice that, if it accepts federal funds, it may face private suits asserting an individual right to choose a medical provider," Gorsuch wrote.
But, he added, "that is not the law we have."

I recall this logic being used several times by this court.
