The Courts can (or should, rather, since you want to talk about "my view") no more infringe upon rights retained by the people than the State or the Feds.

I thought you said you read the 10th amendment. Go back and read it again. There is nothing in it about rights. It addresses powers.

I thought you said you read the 10th amendment.

I did. The I said "we're on to the Ninth."

That is the central conflict in our Republic - whether the powers given the people and their representatives in the Tenth overrule the rights acknowledged to the people in the Ninth.

Personally, I come down on the side of the Ninth. But then, I believe in freedom. The Tenth is the final refuge of the nanny state, and only the Ninth keeps us free.
