What If Martin Luther King, Jr’s Work Wasn’t About A Fundame

What If Martin Luther King, Jr’s Work Wasn’t About A Fundamental Right?
As Professor Randy Barnett notes in his Restoring the Lost Constitution: The Presumption of Liberty, “The Ninth Amendment was added to the Constitution precisely because it was impossible to enumerate all the liberties we have and undesirable even to try. Any effort to do so using originalist methods would give rise to the very danger the Ninth Amendment is there to prevent.” Barnett outlines innumerable quotes from James Iredell to James Madison that make clear that, contra Robert Bork, the Ninth Amendment is no “inkblot.”
