We completely agree on that - gov't can't enact laws (contract law, for this discussion) that would violate Constitutional protections. Because gov't cannot enact statutes that would permit such a violation, contract law cannot (ultimately) deprive a citizen of Constitutional rights. Chain of events.

I believe what I said was that contracts cannot deprive you of your Constitutional rights - see above.

I don't believe I made such an assertion. Again, see above.

I will be sure to do that. I have found that condescending remarks made on the basis of limited information are the best motivators of personal introspection.
