But, again, and I am NOT endorsing this argument, just wondering about it -- with no bor, I can see a free speech case or a newspaper case coming up back in the day when the lib sub-human filth buckets cared. So there'd be a Supreme Court case where the libs and the good people were on the same side. The ENUMERATION would be the solution to the case. The ENUMERATION would be the solution for THOUSANDS of cases. Don't you think? Surely this would have some effect?

Understood.

The entire premise of a socialistic government depends on a government capable of implementing it. So liberals would have had to choose between keeping enumeration, completely losing socialism but keeping some of the rights they hold dear, or abandoning enumeration thereby keeping socialism and losing some rights. They'd have chosen the latter, using the powers of the democratic majority to grant the rights they like as priviledges. They'd have NEVER agreed to fight for enumeration, because it would have meant choosing a role of government completely alien to their core beliefs.

The ENUMERATION would be the solution for THOUSANDS of cases.

And it would have been, as it was meant to be. But only so long as it stood. One "interstate commerce clause" decision later, it would have been history and along with it everything within the BoR would have been gone instantly, instead of over a period of decades.
