Strictly speaking yes, such opinions abound. On the other hand, in *my*
opinion:

* The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated...

* The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited to it by the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or
to the people.

* The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

But that's just my opinion.....
