I don't know, Amendments IX and X in the bill of rights explicitly reserve rights to the people:

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

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

Hard to see how Gonzalez wrigles around those and the writ.
