Due process versus the law?

We might still be working out definitions for those inalienable rights that were endowed on us by our creator.

The questions of States Rights deal with the issue of Civil Rights. Which holds precedence over the other? That was a major issue in the argument regarding including rights in the Constitution. And, that continues to be a question--shall a state have the authority to deprive a person of their inalienable rights? Can I, a civilian, be tried in a military court? Can I be arrested and incarcerated with out charges?
.
Some questions have been so obviously settled; yet, we see big efforts being made to redefine the variables in order to come up with new answers that give political force the power to take our civil rights away. This is what happens when attorneys begin to take our Constitution apart to prove that it doesn't guarantee what we thought it did.
