And it was Jefferson who persuaded Madison that the Bill of Rights would help make the judicial branch the protector of individual rights and secure them against the shifting winds of popular opinion. Here's a well known snippet from that Bill of Rights....
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people
So, the SCOTUS, in the past hundred years articulated some of those rights, like the presumption of innocence in criminal cases, the right to travel within the country and the right to privacy, especially marital privacy. And medical privacy. These rights, although originally not enumerated, had a path to further definition in the Ninth amendment. The point of the amendment is that we are not ruled by Napoleonic Codes that are rigidly fixed and completely enumerated at the outset. Jefferson had a good quote on that, too, which I've posted here before.
So no, not "thank you Scotus" for failing to continue the protection of rights secured a half century ago. You CPH.
