Since that era, mainstream conservatives have grown actively hostile to the very mention of the Ninth Amendment. The case he makes for the application of this unused amendment has profound implications in almost every aspect of our daily lives.. Daniel Farber, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley, makes an informed and lucid argument for employing the Ninth Amendment in support of a large variety of rights whose constitutional basis is now shaky. The Ninth Amendment lurks like an unexploded mine within the Bill of Rights. Its wording is direct: The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” However, there is not a single Supreme Court decision based on it. Even the famously ambitious Warren Court preferred to rely on the weaker support of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause for many of its decisions on individual rights
Currently teaching at theUC-Berkeley Law School, he lives in Oakland, California.. Tone of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and for Justice John Paul Stevens of the United States Supreme Court. Daniel Farber earned his J.D. He clerked for Judge Philip W. He is one of the ten most frequently cited American
Four Stars Great information. Omer Belsky said Much Ado about an Amendment. "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be constructed to deny or disparage others retained by the people".What does the Ninth Amendment to the US Constitution mean? In "Retained by the People", Daniel Farber, a Constitutional scholar (and a co author of Desperately Seeking Certainty: The Misguided Quest for Constitutional Foundations, an insightful commentary on America's leading Constitutional Theorists) argues that it is an instrument for discovering "fundamental rights" that all Americans (or possibly all people) posses. The courts - especially US Supreme Court - should use the ninth amen. A remarkable book; must-read! This book is all I expected it to be and more. The first review that was posted was entirely off the mark (please see my comment responding to his post and you will see why).The thing that struck me most about this book was how thoroughly the author has researched the topic at hand (the 9th amendment). Indeed, we don't talk much, if at all, about the 9th amendment in our K-12 education, and courts seldom mention its existence.Farber makes a very strong case for using the 9th amendment as a basis for defending fundamental human rights. He spends roughly the first quarter of the book talking about the concept of "natural
That amendment says that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution "shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Farber deals with the tricky question of what rights are fundamental (he concludes there is a right to terminate unwanted medical intervention but not a right to assisted suicide) and the legal basis for such rights. Farber writes well for the general public and succeeds in building a case that will resonate with both liberals and populist-conservatives. From Publishers Weekly Farber, a constitutional law professor at the UC-Berkeley law school (Desperately Seeking Certainty), challenges the Supreme Court's current jurisprudence regarding "fundamental rights," arguing that rather than relying on the Constitution's due process clause, these rights—which touch on many controversial issues like abortion, consensual sex, gay marriage and the right to die—would better be supported by the Ninth Amendm
