is it true if you don't use it, you lose it?

[rolph]

no its not true, constitutional rights and responsibilities are durable.

what is true, is that individual states, may "decorate" or amend [the interpretation of] constitutional legislation, and at times may enact what amounts to a defacto revocation of constitutional law.

here is where you will loose it if you dont use it and speak up about a state overreaching "states rights".

one example being 2nd amendment, vs concealed carry laws.
