The Ninth Amendment: A Constitutional Tool for States to Challenge Substantive Due Process under the 14th Amendment

By David Fowler and David E. Fowler Esq

The United States Supreme Court, through its doctrine of 14th Amendment substantive Due Process, has left society at large with very little defense against a seeming abyss of human degradation. Civil liberty is descending into chaos in the streets.These changes are due, in large part, to the fact that the Court's conception of "liberty" under the 14th Amendment is purely subjective. It is divorced from any objective standard for judging liberty and from any corresponding conception of duties. As a result, the Court has increasingly stripped the people of those powers of representative self-government by which civil liberty and social order are maintained.David Fowler, an attorney and retired state Senator with over 25 years of public policy experience, delves into a means by which civil liberty can be restored using the Ninth Amendment, foundational to the framers of our Constitution and long since forgotten by the people and the Supreme Court. Fowler shows that the conception of law and rights guaranteed by the Ninth Amendment is a constitutional tool by which the people of the states and their representatives can challenge the Supreme Court's pretensions to power over them under the 14th Amendment and restore civil liberty.
