You are right. Congress did not change the word unalienable in the Declaration of Independence, but the courts interpreted the word inalienable differently and built a body of case law around that concept. Like it or not, there IS a difference.
Start a thread on that topic and I'll be more than happy to provide the evidence.
Everyone who does not proclaim and demand their unalienable Rights has inalienable rights. It is a long story, not part of the OP and if anyone wants to know, they will start a thread and ask me there.

If it's more 'Founders' bollocks you want, the Rough Draft* of The Declaration of Independence reads inalienable. Congress didn't change it. It was John Adams in making his copy of the Rough Draft to send to the printers who wrote unalienable.

There are two ways you can do this. One is through the drop down menu available in the top right hand corner of my post. The second is by starting a thread in the Basement. The moderators appreciate this, but please read the instructions on how to post there properly.
Now, whose rights are inalienable?
Youtube?
The alt-right?
Non-whites?
Thanks!
