The constitution doesn’t grant rights to the people but sets down the restrictions on what the federal government can and can not do.

Anything and everything not specifically outlined in it is either retained by the people or governed by the states.

If the Supreme Court says the federal government doesn’t have jurisdiction they are simply returning the responsibility to the states or default legal status. They literally can’t strip away a right by returning it to the people.
