You’ve got that the wrong way around and your airline analogy isn’t apt. In the first place, rights are not granted by interpretation of the law. They exist naturally unless circumscribed by it. In the second place, airlines are private companies and have a wide mandate to deny service based on various conditions stated in their terms. |

The legal system in the U.S. isn't based on some Hobbesian philosophical notion of "rights," even if the Founders were inspired by it. It's based on interpretations of how our rights, enumerated in law or a Constitution or otherwise, may or may not have been violated under the circumstances of a case.
If you said what you just said to a judge in court, they'd either laugh in your face, or laugh about you with staff in chambers after you leave.
