And he was right about that. For there to be a "right of privacy" written into the Constitution, it must be absolute. Since Griswold, Roe, etc. and the 4th Amendment all give several EXCEPTIONS to privacy rights, there actually aren't any.How so? If I were a constructionist or texualist, strict or loose, how would you convince me? Where is privacy mentioned?Does a Right to Privacy Exist somewhere with in the US Constitution, and if so can you point to it?
The Fourth Amendment is almost entirely about privacy. Actually, so is the Third Amendment, but it's not so obvious unless you really understand the background of it.
Major Originalist like Judge Robert Bork in his ill-fated Supreme Court confirmation hearings, have argued that no right of privacy exists.
