It's not a contradiction to say that you have inalienable rights and that it is not the duty of the US government to protect them.

Not wrong, but the constitution is meant to be a limit on the US government. They don't have to protect them from others, but surely it shouldn't be willfully trampling those rights through its own conduct either.

But it is the duty of the US government to not violate them. It’s hypocritical to do otherwise.
