On point one, agreed.
On point two, you may be right, especially given the ninth amendment, but think of the implications of that statement for the poor constructionists -- Inalienable rights that aren't explicit in the assigned reading!

I know, it could be just anything, like, privacy!
That said, one can take the position that all inalienable rights of rich-white-men are in fact contained in the Constitution (explicitly or implicitly), but they are a subset of the universe of rights contained therein, and due process of law (which seems an alienable right by definition, since it can be waived by the posessor) isn't one of them.
