9 and 10 are essentially superfluous to that argument and you are throwing them in there more because you're bitter that the argument has [effectively, in your view] lost than because you think that's really the correct chain of reasoning.

You need to find someone "denying or disparaging" other rights on the basis that other rights were enumerated.

I'd prefer if you made arguments plainly rather than just dropping snark. If your core complaint is that people don't take your seemingly obvious argument seriously, maybe you should engage that argument sincerely.
