"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed
to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
-Ninth Amendment
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to
the people."
-Tenth Amendment
Why have we allowed our federal government to behave as though these two Amendments are not in the Constitution? The Constitution is supposed to tell our federal government the few things it is permitted to do. Are we electing people who behave this way? Are they placing judges on the bench who understand this?
