dc_dux, you might want to have a look at some of Randy Barnett's scholarship on the Ninth Amendment (which he integrates into a more or less unified view of federal power and constitutional rights).
Then again, you might not want to. I don't think his views are to your taste - he's a thoroughgoing libertarian originalist. In case you're wondering who he is, he is the guy who represented April Raich in the Supreme Court, arguing that the commerce clause doesn't permit the feds to prevent sick people from growing marijuana for their own medical use. He lost, 6-3, with Thomas, O'Connor and Rehnquist dissenting. He's a law prof at Boston U.
