Tim Kaine is a Democratic senator from Virginia. Recently he posted the following on social media:

The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government but come from the Creator—that’s what the Iranian government believes. It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Sharia law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities. And they do it because they believe that they understand what natural rights are from their Creator. So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.

Well, the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence (primarily written by Thomas Jefferson of Virginia) states:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to
secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed.

The U.S. Constitution was primarily written by the delegates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The key contributors were James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay.The Constitution and The Bill of Rights enshrined the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence and addressed the grievances the colonists had with the British such as being forced to house troops, unwarranted searches and seizures of property, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, etc.

Tim Kaine swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution. One wonders if he ever took the time to read it.
