Good bye Rick Santorum...

"And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution.
-- Senator Rick Santorum, 2003

The republicans need to clean house and turn away from their fascist direction. Turn back towards Reagan and Goldwater.

There is no Constitutional right to privacy.  There should be, but there isn't.  Congress should not pass laws violating privacy, but it would be within the Constitutional restraints to do so.

No, it wouldn't. By the Constitution, Congress is constrained to do only those things specifically allowed by the Constitution.

Lol, man those republicans, full of fascists, too bad there arent more republicans like Ron Paul.

[Spencer]

Where in the Constitution does it say that there ISN'T a right to privacy?

The Constitution did not create any rights -- as Kevin said, it created a government of LIMITED, ENUMERATED powers.

According to the supreme court, it's such an obvious, natural right that it's constitutional whether it's written or not.

Interesting way of ruling the case, I think they put it under the first amendment

[JonM]

Seems to fit under the 9th if you ask me.

There's little need to shoehorn it in there.

When asked if they have a right to something, 99.9999% of people's gut instinct responses are "YES!!!"
then yeah, it's a right.

Amendment IX

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

[error]

The Supreme Court has decided repeatedly that they'll construe it however the hell they want, Ninth Amendment or no Ninth Amendment.

They've made a mockery of the rights our forefathers fought and died for.

Seems to fit under the 9th if you ask me.

Or 10th.

[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.

[Quantrill]

The 4th combined with the 9th guarantee your right to privacy.

You think the Constitution is going to stop them from violating your guaranteed right to privacy? After all, it's just a goddamned piece of paper! It's not like the Constitution is going to shoot the bastards for you.

This is funny.  You guys think we still have a Constitution.  Didn't you hear?  The Constitution died.  We held a funeral.
