"There is no right to privacy."

Yes there is. It's right there in the ninth amendment. (And I had finally found something to with which to agree with you in post 70).

Broadly speaking, that's a fair reply, but it's not so easy to identify "rights... not enumerated in the Constitution [but] not disparaged or denied to the people." The fourth amendment gives a reasonable definition of "privacy". If you claim there is an additional right not enumerated, you should at least be able to define it. What is "privacy"? Any definition you attempt to give will turn out to be circular, or else will imply that killing someone in your bedroom is a right.

(And I had finally found something to with which to agree with you in post 70). Cool.
