EXACTLY!
The 9th clearly tells us that there are other rights NOT listed and that those rights are every bit as important as those that are listed.
Some of the wisest founders hesitated on the BoR because they knew that sometime down the road boneheads would claim that the listed, enumerated rights were the only ones that existed, that if it wasn't in the Consitution or amendments then that right didn't exist.
Boneheads is my word, not theirs, and there are plenty of them on FR.
To say that everything else not mentioned can be claimed to be a right by virtue of the 9th amendment is funny - such thinking is where we get the idiotic notion that there is a "right" to be free from insensitive language, etc. (insert any other PC crapola "right").
It isn't funny, it is so stupid that only a small group of people could even fathom that idea. I would have never thought of it had it not been for you! Congratulations, you are in a small group of people.
In your opinion, are there rights not listed that are retained by the people? If not why, if so, what might some be?
