Many places still have blue laws

I'm against them for practical reasons and as a matter of principle, but I don't see them as unconstitutional.

Reproductive rights are under assault.

Whether or not they are natural rights (and I thing some things that fall under "reproductive rights" should be considered natural rights. Its a dubious area as "constitutional rights". In cases like Roe vs Wade the court pretty much made up rights not in the bill of rights or elsewhere in the constitution.

Voting rights.

This is a more solid example. I don't think it applies as well to modern controversies like whether a picture ID should be required, but from the end of reconstruction until well in to the 20th century there were many more clear cases of infringement.

And of course your point is not the examples. Even without any examples, I'd agree that its more often the courts protecting or not protecting rights then it is the courts infringing on them
