What does the 9th Amendment mean?

Well, you see, by your reasoning the ninth amendment gives people the right to kill you.  Sweet dreams.

In all seriousness, the ninth amendment does not establish complete anarchy, as it would by your interpretation, what it says is that the mere fact it states that government does not have jurisdiction over the free exchange of ideas or one's private home and life, among other things, does not give it carte blanche to declare jurisdiction over everything else, even though the "rights" to those things are left unstated.  Like most of the rest of the Constitution, it's ignored.

I'm going to go rob an old lady.  You see, the laws pertaining to robbing old ladies are really open to creative interpretation beyond their original intent.  After all, I have really good reasons to rob that old lady, and she's a cranky old coot anyway.
