I appreciate your article, and essentially agree with it. However, just want to point out that the right to privacy is not explicitly stated in the Constitution. It is established in case law, Griswold v. Connecticut, in which Justice Douglas wrote " that "[t]he foregoing cases suggest that specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance". Justice Douglas argued that the Court could infer a right to privacy by looking at "zones of privacy" protected by First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments." Keep up the good work!
