      More like states rights only apply when not delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They should really have written that down somewhere.

        They also probably should’ve put something about how the rights explicitly mentioned in the Constitution were not our only rights, and the explicit mention of some rights did not disparage other rights. That way the conservative court wouldn’t have been able to say “we can’t find a right to xyz in the Constitution therefore it isn’t a right”.

        If only there was a Ninth Amendment or something, and a way to hold the Court accountable to it.
