Everyone forgets about the 9th amendment to the constitution. Under the thumb of a President who fancies himself a king, surrounded by people who think of themselves as clever, and a supreme court inclined to bend to their ideology, it's worth remembering. It may not on its own have much force (my understanding is limited), but I think it can set a tone for an argument when dealing with an Executive branch engaged in a rapid expansion of power and influence.
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
