Yes, my interpretation DID read a lot into it, but that's by design. The framers (and Madison in particular) intentionally put that one in to say that just because the Constitution doesn't say you have a right guaranteed by law, doesn't mean you don't. It opens up the door to all sorts of unenumerated rights, like privacy and property.
