   "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be   
   construed to   
   deny or disparage others retained by the people."   
      
   This amendment may as well merely say, or be interpreted as saying: "The   
   absence   
   of certain rights in the Constitution shall not be construed to deny or   
   disparage   
   those very rights."   
      
   i.e. The U.S. Constitution is meant to serve true morality - true right and   
   true   
   wrong, and thus true law.  Something cannot be right and illegal, nor very   
   wrong   
   and legal.   
      
   The government is not the author of the law.  If you say the government is the   
   author of the law, then you say you do not believe in the law, and in right and   
   wrong.  Something cannot be right and illegal, nor very wrong and legal.   
      
   The government is no more the author of the law than the government is the   
   author   
   of mathematics.  Saying 2+3=17 all day won't make it so, for it will always be   
   5.   
      
   The government is not the author of morality.  But logic, reason, and the   
   truth,   
   dictate morality, and the law, and right from wrong.   
      
   Right and wrong do exist, and they are not up to you to decide, any more than   
   the   
   laws of mathematics.  Scientific inquiry on the other hand, can correct and   
   improve the working theory.   
      
   Intelligence shall save us, and it is is every American's duty, to question and   
   search for truer authority, in the form of logic, reason, and the Spirit of   
   Truth.
