The 9th Amendment is coming back in style. It really shoots down the "original intent" argument that the SCOTUS is making up things that are not in the Constitution, like the right to privacy. Well, yeah, they may not be enumerated but that doesn't mean they never existed before.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

A harder question is, if the Constitution doesn't enumerate rights, how can the SCOTUS protect them? And my answer is, if not the SCOTUS, whom?
