There is no such thing as "constitutional right" because it is not the purpose of the Constitution to enumerate citizens' rights. The Constitution's purpose is to enumerate the limited powers of the federal government.

There is no "constitutional right" not to be discriminated against because of race. While the 14th amendment does guarantee equal protection of the laws, it doesn't prohibit discrimination by individual citizens or corporate entities. There are laws (such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964) that prohibit discrimination but these laws are not the Constitution.

There is no "constitutional right" to free speech. The first amendment merely prohibits Congress from passing laws that infringe on free speech.

There is no such thing as "constitutional rights." The powers enumerated in the Constitution do not apply to corporations, they only apply to the federal government (though the 14th amendment has been wrongly interpreted to apply those limitations to state and local governments as well).
The right to bear arms. So can I take my gun to work with me in case I must defend my self a from supervisor or in case a waco person comes in and wants to shoot everyone?
