We just need for the US government to choose to sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognize it as a treaty; it would then override the Constitution itself per Article VI.
Whoa! No we do not. I prefer capitalism, free markets and a semblance of democracy over the socialistic totalitarianism the UN promotes. You'll note that the right to keep and bear arms is mentioned NO WHERE in the UN's declaration. Nor are any open ended articles, such as the ninth ammendment from the US BoR, made declaring that humans have rights that "we may not have mentioned or anticipated."
Without an armed populace, nothing prevents the standing government from changing the rules.
The NRC grants 30 year licenses after which the reactor is supposed to be decommisioned -- all fuel is removed, the core is drained and the containment building housing the core is filled with cement.
Creating wonderful rock-climbing monuments all over the free-world...
That's why we have the supreme court, but as they are made up of humans, their appointment doesn't make them "right" either.
The really sad thing is that even when property is confiscated as evidence of a crime, it is not and does not have to be returned regardless of whether charges are filed or a conviction is obtained.
Since any cop can arrest you for any crime, real or perceived, the forfeiture laws have turned into a legal loophole ripe with corruption.

Which is entirely untrue. If you subscribe to Darwinism of any kind you realize that Nature pays no attention to "unneeded" parts. The "needed" replicate and thrive while the "undesirable" (those harmful to the pre-procreating organism) are eliminated.
It is specifically those unneeded parts which allow some organisms survive changes in their environment.
However, I would have to agree with you that this minimum-gene-set organism would have a very narrow environmental niche. And science is merely copying life, innovating possibly, but not creating it a-new.
But that could be said even if science somehow created a silicon based DNA lifeform. At any biological level, I don't see religion having as much trouble with molecular biology as they will with AI.

The judge who made this decision is:
Robinson, Palmer, Judge whom you may email or phone at 206.296.9103
Which I found on page 31 here.
Therefore Congress can't grant those rights (A1S10) because they are not authorized to (A1S9), again, without an amendment to the Constitution itself.
Well, that explains the lack of infringements into my right to keep and bear arms.
Not.
Legal doesn't make it right.
