“The Ninth Amendment. Most people don’t know what it says or means. Others just ignore it. Those who don’t, usually get it completely wrong. The Ninth isn’t a grant of additional federal power. It’s a partner to the Tenth Amendment and a firewall for federalism. It wasn’t an afterthought. It was the final lock on constructive federal power.” (08/06/25)
