The You Can't Make This Shit Up Department

It's different here, you can't actually claim constitutional rights by directly quoting the constitution, you can only ask them based on laws that were made according to the constitution (and those laws always exist, there are laws for everything and the constitution orders the legislator to create them) - The common example, if my employer fires me because I'm black I'm not gonna quote the 13º article of the constitution about discrimination, but the workers code about working policies, no one uses the constitution directly to give you rights since there are laws that implement the constitution to support you, the constitution is a limit to what laws can be made, our constitutional court appreciates laws and bans them if they are against the constitution, but they don't actually lead trials on concrete cases except in rare situations

Um not exactly. Here too you must sue under legislation granting you that right to receive damages against private individuals. There isn't a constitutional guarantee that people won't discriminate, only that the government can't pass discriminatory laws. If you sue based on the constitution, what you are asking is to have the discriminatory law repealed.

Well that justifies it since our constitution was made in 1976 after the revolution, they really worked their asses to assure fascism wouldn't repeat itself, lot's of worker and political rights in abundance, limiting the state in everything, and of course I don't need to say germany was even worse, I think they produced an article saying 'human dignity is always sacred' because of the holocaust. I'll give you an example of stupid restrictions - In France it's illegal to deny the holocaust.

We don't see it that way. Our bill of rights is about limiting what the government can do to citizens, not requiring it to do things for or to citizens. Thus the limits on laws prohibiting free speech.

Only if you intend to represent clients in international trade.

I personally dislike studying international law and hate with a passion european law (I'm a euro skeptical) so I'll guess it's not worth it.

I didn't mean international law, I meant representing clients doing business internationally. If you represent someone doing business in England, knowing a little bit about case law might be useful.
