Access to clean water may not be enshrined in the US constitution, but it’s not accurate to say it’s not “any sort of basic right.”

It’s enshrined explicitly as such in a variety of UN documents and EU laws and instruments.

I wish more of my fellow Americans had a better idea of what fundamental rights the US has chosen not integrate into domestic law over the past 8 or so decades.
