I often hear Scalia talking about a constitutional "right to privacy" (in non-abortion situations) yet I see no mention of such a right in the Bill of Rights.

That could be a worrisome thing. Do you have links to any web-published remarks by Scalia on that "right"? I'd be interested in reading what he's said.

I have to bow out (end of work day).

But, if you were to ask him, I'm sure Scalia would frame it as falling under the Fourth Amendment, which was his rationale in the Supreme Court's decision in the Kyollo (thermal-imaging/pot-growing) case in which he wrote the Majority Opinion.

I'm sure a gleaning of his opinions re: the Fourth Amendment will find him opining frequently about the "right to privacy (but it's the weekend and I ain't doing the research right now.....)

I wouldn't mind seeing them, either. It certainly wasn't here: Troxel v. Granville, Scalia, J., dissenting

What would make "searches" "unreasonable," if not a right to privacy?
