The Ninth Amendment gives no power to the federal courts to overturn a state law. None.

The Fourteenth Ammendment says otherwise--especially since the Fifth Ammendment guarantees the right to Liberty--which is the right to do whatever does not violate the rights of others.

The Fourteenth did not overturn the Ninth's guarantee that the people retained rights not enumerated.

The Ninth hasn't been incorporated into the Fourteenth, wasn't intended to be, and can't be.

The Ninth can and does limit the federal government- including the federal courts.
