So can I claim that I have retained a right to smoke marijuana or sell my ladies on the corner? Those are my rights retained by me. Actually, they are the rights retained by the people. The constitution doesn't say that I have that right, but I must have it.
Well, I say that World War I was in fact caused by the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand!
Oh... I'm sorry, I thought we were playing a game of "read one thing and respond to something else entirely."
I didn't say you automatically had the right. I said that "the Constitution doesn't say you
do have this right" is a crap argument for why you don't.
