Thank you. I could have listed beaucoup references, but I had to stop somewhere and digest the information that I had.

This morning when I woke up, I realized that when I parapharased Justice Black, I should not have said the ninth was just ambiguous and broad, but also flexible since it is used in conjection with so many of the amendments rather than being used as the primary source simply because it is a REMINDER TO THE GOVERNMENT THAT THEY ARE TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS AS CITIZENS, BOTH SPOKEN AND UNSPOKEN.

Without the ninth and tenth, the Bill of Rights would have collapsed in upon itself because there simply would have been no protection whatsoever for the citizen by the government or for the citizen from the government.
