10th 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.
Seriously, that's what you think it says? That's your level of reading comprehension? Fascinating. So what did they mean by the 9th then?
9th amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people
Show me the court cases that back your interpretation
Dude, focus. I asked ... you ... what it means. I didn't say what either means here. You said what you think the 10th means, now I'm asking what you think the 9th means.
It means what it says.
And it's author also stated...
The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.
The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments, in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the federal government. The more adequate, indeed, the federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.

But, the libs are more than happy to hide behind court cases.....
Unless, of course, it involves Hobby Lobby.
