As soon as the phrase 'human right' is in the mix, local solutions that deny such rights can seem questionable.
Which is probably why the term should not be continually expanded to include more and more policy preferences. It makes governing a large and heterogenous country kinda difficult.
In abstract, I agree with you. The Supreme Court has been more aggressive than I like in inventing new rights.
In specific, do you feel confident, seeing someone sick, in saying they shouldn't get access to health care? UDHR 25 wasn't declared by five old men. Eleanor Rosevelt somehow wrangled it out of the UN General Assembly.
Specifically, how do you feel about seeing a hungry person go without food? Does your solution to this include nationalizing the nation's farms and restaurants?
