To paraphrase a founding father when debating the wisdom of laying out
the Bill of Rights: "If you go enumerating a list of rights that
people have, some dumb ass in the future is going think we meant those
are the *only* ones they have."

There is no right to privacy specifically enumerated in the
Constitution. That is because it falls under this quaint little notion
that the Founders had read up on called Natural Law. The Constitution
lays out the limitations and powers of the Government, not of the
people. I know what the 10th Amendment says and there are a whole lot
of people seem to think that all rights not explicitly given to the
Federal government get caught up in the nebulous net of "the State"
and that few if any filter down to the individual. Well fuck that
noise.
