The constitution is written to enjoin the government from infringing on certain rights.

To say that it describes the rights we have is a fundamental misunderstanding. It even says as much, in the 9th amendment:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

I mean, you could at least try to argue more clearly, and not trip over something so obvious.

The 9th amendment is saying "just because we said we have rights X and Y explicitly, doesn't mean that we don't have Z just because we didn't say it". That's what it's saying.

All I'm saying is the bill of rights describes rights that the government cannot infringe upon (with the exceptions established via judicial precedent, for example guns can be taken away from violent felons, etc)

I never said that the Constitution was an exhaustive list of our rights so your snarky dismissal doesn't strike me as fair.

Your exact words are It literally describes what rights we have.

The US constitution doesn't do that, it enjoins the government from infringing certain rights. If you are going to endlessly bloviate about it, do it with some clarity.
