A right to privacy does exist in the constitution

It is not detailed but derived presumptively based upon nothing specific (reasonable expectation?) as ambiguously supported by referencing the Ninth Amendment among other things...

Ninth Amendment.

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

It is odd that the Ninth Amendment can support 'privacy' yet many would and still argue that the specific unalienable rights from the Creator as detailed in the Declaration of Independence do not exist and warrant deference at minimum by ambiguous support by referencing the Ninth Amendment...

There are quite a number of oddities around Religion and the courts.... they seem to think that freedom of religion ends when we set foot on public property... I'd support an amendment to correct that.
