"It makes it clear that the Bill of Rights is not an exhaustive list of rights retained by the People. It invalidates the statement "I don't see right X listed in the constitution". "The constitution is a limit on the powers of government, not the other way around." If a person was to presume what you presume; that the ninth amendment was to include privacy, there would be no way for the government to enforce any laws. We would have anarchy, which was clearly not the founders intent. If the founding fathers intended anarchy, they would have written a document that restricted this nation from having any form of government.
