One might construe it means there is a right to abortion, gay marriage, incest, unfettered drug use, or any number of other individual "personal rights" that 5 justices can agree to liberally construct, if PH's words are to be taken literally and liberally in this case. PH, is that what you are implying? Or would you construct the Tenth Amendment's reservation to the States or to the People to mean that State governments can rightly decide how to legislate on these issues.

It "means" that such things are left to the states or the people to decide. It's not Federal, in other words.
I think I was taught that it was the Congress who makes
up the laws (rules) and that the SCOTUS is to give the
laws a thumbs up or down on whether the law was
constitutional or not when challenged. And at most, to
give the Congress advise as to what would be Constitutional
if the law were written differently.
