Rights always trump powers of the state.

Rights are unalienable, correct?

Then where do they come from?

If from the State, then rights are alienable.

If from the People, then rights are alienable.

If from God, then they are unalienable.

Now tell me how God grants us the unalienable right to fornicate.

I can't speak for the Almighty as so many of you here can. I can tell you that certainly, if Mr. Jefferson was correct, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness among other unalianable rights come from the Creator. The right to privacy must certainly exist or there would be no liberty or the pursuit of happiness. So whether it's fornication, chess, or other activities that do not infringe on the rights of others, the right to privacy is a guaranteed right.

Keep your Bible out of my bedroom and I'll keep my moral compass out of yours. We'll all have the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness then.
