...that according to US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia,

Most of the rights that you enjoy go way beyond what the Constitution requires.

He said that in wartime, you can expect that

[T]he protections will be ratcheted right down to the constitutional minimum.

But rest assured,

I won't let it go beyond the constitutional minimum.

Whew. We can rest easy now.

The judge's comments aside, suprisingly, most rights Americans enjoy are not constitutional rights, but, rather, judicially bestowed several decades later.
