I wonder what it is that stops the Justices from ruling or prevents them from realizing that the Ninth Amendment forbids a "latitude of interpretation"?

Scalia explained that succinctly: "latitude of interpretation," allows the justice who presumptuously adopts it to go to sleep each night happy in the knowledge that, that day, the Constitution meant exactly what he wanted it to.

[Jacquerie]

“The footnote states that there is a “presumption of Constitutionality” given to federal laws unless a right enumerated in the first ten amendments is at issue.”

This is the heart of our screwed up jurisprudence. Rather than force the government to show its legislation or more probably, agency rule is constitutional, the plaintiffs are forced to show it is not. The deck is stacked from the git go against our Natural Rights. There is more than just forced participation in health insurance that is at issue in Obamacare. It is a dagger pointed at the heart of our God given liberties.

I highly recommend Randy Barnett's analysis of the Ninth to all Freepers. http://www.randybarnett.com/rightsbypeople.html

The framers of our Constitution would explode if they were to time travel to the present and see what the federal government has become.
