I have a real problem with this sort of argument, because the constitution does three things. List things you can do which cannot be infringed upon, lists things you can not do, and what it is silent on is left to the states or the people.

What it is silent on is left to the states or to the people.

What it is silent on is left to the states or to the people.

This is what the ninth ammendment does, it restricts the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (or is supposed to restrict it) to only those jurisdiction enumerated.

TO THE PEOPLE...TO THE PEOPLE.

Federalism is dead and I beat a dead horse, I think.
