Yes, they can take it to court, but they will likely lose. The Govt has the ability to make laws that strip or limit the people's rights. That is why we have a Bill of Rights, to explicitly list some of the rights the Govt cannot take away (though they still try, sometimes successfully). The Govt does impose laws that take away rights.

You are very much FORCED to follow the law, particularly the laws that have taken away your rights. Yes, you can vote in the next election but that doesn't change the reality that you are FORCED to follow current law.
Sounds like the same assertion to me. No where, no way, no how, can our government take away your rights. The reason? You can fight them in court, vote them out of office, or start a legislative bill of your own. There is no guarantee your side will win. The side of justice and the law wins.

BTW: everyone born in the USA follows the laws of our constitution. It is not a pick and choose situation. Although, when you feel slighted, it appears that it is. Another right you have? Move to another country. Each of us has the freedom to do that, as well. (As long as the country you choose will accept you) What more can I tell you? It is what it is.
