It's a long standing govt right in the UK. Well, there's a differentiator right there. In the USA, government doesn't have rights; it only has enumerated power

- Latteland 8y agoYeah, I know this is different than the US, but I keep seeing people complaining about it from a US civil rights standard. We should at least appreciate that under UK law there are different rights. For the US, I feel like the enumerated power idea has become a somewhat historical concept instead of being true in practice. As an example, think about civil forfeiture. I don't see how that is enumerated.
