Who said that? No one said that. Rights just can't be arbitrarily taken away. There are certain times certain rights can be taken away when there is a compelling government reason. But it is very limited. That is what we call the criminal justice system. But you can't possibly argue that the government can never take our rights away. And what other reason would the government take our rights way other than the public interest. What other reason is there?
