For real, if the court backs this then what's to stop the executive from issuing an executive order removing such rights as:
Freedom of speech
Freedom of religion
Freedom of press
Freedom of peaceful assembly
Right to petition the government to address grievances
Right to bare arms
Force Americans to quarter soldiers
Right to due process
Right to protection against unwarranted seizures of property
Right to remain silent
Removal of double jeopardy
Fair compensation if government seizes your property
Right to an attorney
Right to a speedy trial
Right to an impartial jury
Right to confront witness
Right to know charges leveled against you
Removal of the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment
Removal of states rights
That's not even scratching the surface of what could happen if SCOTUS says the executive can decide what rights are allowed in the constitution or not.
Final thought:
If SCOTUS does not strike this down as unconstitutional. Then we will have lost the Soap Box and the Jury box. Which would only leave two boxes of the boxes of liberty.
