The reasoning of the decision is based on the broad, vague, and new-found Constitutional principle of the "expression of essential humanity," and will serve as the fulcrum by which the increasing power of the federal government is leveraged in unimaginable ways in the future.

I'm a decentralized power freak, actually. In any case, privacy is not the basis of this ruling. It's the newly discovered "right" of the "expression of essential humanity."
