That hasn't been the case for 50 years. Your rights are inalienable as long as there's some enforcement mechanism. All three branches have walked back certain rights in various forms in modern times.

Be the change you want to see; work in Federal service, get yourself elected for any local or Federal positions, or draft policy for lawmakers

Dude, you made me snort chicken. Inalienable rights are a lot older than 50 years. Yeah 70 years ago a lot of people stood up to fight for them but that doesn't magically protect them now. Having rights in theory means nothing if we let the government give itself the power to ignore those rights.
