In effect, Roberts was telling the Senate that just because a right isn't spelled out in the Constitution doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

I agree 100%.

IMO if our Federal government is to be as intended --one of
few and enumerated powers-- then if a Right is not spelled out in the Constitution-that right most certainly does exist but the Federal government Has NO power over it.
If NOT spelled out in the Constitution the "Right" belongs to the States-- Or if not spelled out in State constitutions belongs to the people and State and Federal governments have no power to regulate.Where the Constitution is silent then the Federal Government most certainly ought remain silent. We run into problems when
we have the supreme Court (or any inferior Court) Pretending to uphold the Constitution-when in fact they are
rewriting the Constitution-- "Wall of separation"myth case
in point.
