Say the House and Senate and the States all vote to repeal the first amendment for some reason. Do we then lose any free speech, free assembly, etc. protections? Or are laws restricting these things still "unconstitutional", as they are our "inalienable rights" and all the first amendment does is make it absolutely clear that the government cannot trample them?

So if the consensus is that we would no longer have a right to free speech and etc, is the Ninth Amendment then useless? Because I would think the basic rights enumerated in the First Amendment are some of the most basic "retained by the people."
