The main point is that for every new right the Supreme Court finds you have in the Constitution, it is wresting power away from the states and away from you and bestowing it on themselves and the federal government.
That is the danger and I can't understand why you are unable to see it.
Okay, we are DOOMED!
It seems to me that we already lost this battle, states rights and home rule have already been diminished to irrelevance.
This is particularly true in my state of Nevada.
The fed. now dictates virtually every miniscule facet of our lives, unless we ignore their dictates.
Overall, this discussion is a replay of the original argument between the federalist and the the anti-federalist, it will rise and ebb as long as our republic endures.
If I had my way the Fed. Gov. Org. would be reduced to doing only what it is specifically directed to do under our constitution, and I would still have a right to privacy.
To too many that would be anarchy.
In my view individual rights are paramount, with each level of Gov. Org. only reluctantly accepted, and only to the least extent possible.
Call me a "small government" republican.
My privacy is of no legitimate concern to local, state, or Fed. government.
The state government has no more say over my natural rights than the Fed.
If we have no right to something so basic as personal privacy, it would follow that we have NO rights to anything else either.
Weather we ever agree on this issue is largely moot, our out of control big brother, nanny state, totalitarian leaning Gov. Org.'s will do as they please in any case, "For your own good".
I have lost all faith in "our" government, no matter which "party" is in power.
