The editorial which prompted the title for this thread referenced a case in which the Supreme Court held that the Constitution emmanated a penumbra from which was brought forth a right to privacy that protected one's right to do whatever one wanted, even when the police should happen to stumble
into said bedroom on a legal search warrant.


Clearly, the two are very much different.>>

Are we discussing Lawrence and Garner versus Texas, which established that people have a right to sexual privacy in their own bedrooms, free from the meddling of state laws criminalizing their adult, consensual sexual behaviour?

That descision is documented here:

I believe that the only mention of a penumbra of privacy was in Scallia's discenting opinion. There's a huge difference between "one's right to do what ever one wanted" and ones right to consensual sexual behavior in private.

If you have a cite for any descision that created or even discussed a right to do what ever one wants, I'd like to see it.
