areas in which the national government may not intrude. The problem is the use of the "right of privacy" is to strip the states of the police power.

The use of the term "right of privacy" has no basis in Constitutional law other than those specified in the enumerated powers and the 4th Amendment. It is a phrase couched in emotionalism. The paradox is that, as you contend, the SCOTUS has used the prohibition of federal jurisdiction to assume powers otherwise reserved to the states and the people. The judge who wrote the original article should stick to traffic court.
