Although this is not in the Constitution, the Supreme Court has made this into a legal precedent. If it is not in the Constitution, then it is a created right. In this case, it is a right invented by the Supreme Court. The Government giveth and the Government taketh away. If you believe the right to privacy originated in the government, then it can at least be qualified, if not eliminated entirely, by them.
You're not "giving them an inch." They're giving YOU one. At least, according to your theory.
Either you're a visionary or a paranoid shadow-chaser. I guess time will tell which. It will also tell whether I am a patriot or a dupe.
Although what I have said above is true. I perhaps should have been more specific in saying that the right to privacy is an implied and not an express power mentioned in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Although, technically, according to your theory, not even the Declaration of Independence is a legally binding document like the Constitution is--but we as American citizens still use this to defend our God-given rights. You are correct in saying that if the government gives people their rights, they can take them away. Like many other people, I just think that many Americans are too quick to throw them away.
