Try the Ninth Amendment:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. "

Wait, lets get this straight, YOU WANT GOVERNMENT INTRUDING INTO YOUR BEDROOM?

That sounds a lot like socialism or communism to me.

Keep looking--it's right next to the part that says the Federal or state government can regulate consensual sexual behavior between adults.

Do you really think the constitution gives us our rights? Our rights come from our creator. The Constitution limits government rights not individual rights. One of Madison's concerns in drafting the Bill of Rights was that those enumerated rights would become the ONLY protected rights. It appears that today even conservatives wish for a powerful federal government that restrains us within the narrow framework of the Bill of Rights.

Privacy is guaranteed by the fourth amendment, as we are to be secure in our homes, papers, etc. But, it sounds like privacy's not an issue with you. So, I take it that you'd be OK with the government folks coming into your house to see what you've been doing on your computer and whether you're feeding your children healthy meals?

Privacy cuts across all lines.

I recall that one of the arguments against the Bill of Rights was that people would think that only rights explicitly enumerated existed. The Ninth Amendment was supposed to prevent that, but evidently it doesn't always work.
