The new angle under the 9th amendment that has some latin phrase with it seems to be gaining some traction.

Can you expound? The ninth is an underused amendment meant to say, forgive the casualness, all other rights people should have. How does it tie in here?

The premise is Quo Warranto

Please see the article referenced for further information and follow the links as appropriate. Meanwhile,

According to the online Constitution.org resource: “The common law writ of quo warranto has been suppressed at the federal level in the United States, and deprecated at the state level, but remains a right under the Ninth Amendment which was understood and presumed by the Founders, and which affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents.”

The Ninth Amendment (a part of the Bill of Rights) sometimes called the Silent Amendment provides us with all sorts of goodies like trial by jury, presumption of innocence until proven guilty etc.

Article the eleventh [Amendment IX]

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Which of course means that just because there are enumerated rights for the people that these enumerated rights are not our only rights.
