Well, if that's where you believe the right to privacy comes from in the Constitution, then you shouldn't support the rationale of Griswold which is dependent on "penumbras" and "zones of privacy" emanating from First, Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments. The Ninth Amendment, which you quote, is only tossed in as an afterthought in that opinion.

Which begs the question: If your interpretation is correct and (by necessity) Griswold is wrong, why do you support Miers for saying Griswold is correct?

I have no idea what her reasoning is.

I believe the Griswold decsion striking down 53-32 and 54-196 was correct and thus I would be very disapointed in any justice who did not agree with it.

It would be very interesting to hear here reasoning.
