>>specifically stated that the States retain the right to regulate the rights of individuals not specifically mentioned in the Constitution<<
Can you murder me, claim the retained right to do so (it's not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, and the Constitution does not grant your State the right to legislate in this area)
That can't be right?

No, because you retain the right not to be murdered.
Let's face it. There are many interpretations of what the Constitution says. The interpretation that wins is the one belonging to those with the power to say so. That doesn't make them Right, it only allows them to enforce their interpretation on the rest of us. Some day, hopefully, it will swing the other way and we will enforce our interpretation on them.
