What does this mean?

So, what does this mean?

Oh man, starting back up again. I don't know why they closed the last one. Even the mods were posting and actively involved. Maybe someone posted something they had to delete and didn;t tell us. Oh well.

And sorry for not answering the question.

To me, it means people have other rights besides those enumerated in the Constitution. And the government is not to use the rights specifically mentioned in the Constitution as a tool to take away other rights not mentioned.

I agree, it's probably best to leave well enough alone

It's not my intention to have a continuation of the discussion on the thread that was closed. I think that the premis of the question asked of Americans, what's wrong with Obama, is a ridiculous one.

People are eager to discuss the 2nd amendment. I'm just curious what people read in the 9th amendment.

I'm interested in having a discussion about the Constitution. I believe that it holds the answers to many of the issues that our country is dealing with. It looks as though I'm in a minority in this belief. People seem more interested in discussing what is wrong with Obama than they are about what is right with the Constitution.

I'm interested in the Taurus SHO too. The Raptor seems pretty cool to me. I'd like to see a new Lightning, but I believe that it's absolutely necessary to pay attention to what is happening in our coutnry too. We, me especially, have been distracted for way too long. There won't be the need to discuss the 9th amendment, the 2nd amendment, or the Constitution at all, if we just let politicians have their way.
