There is no right to privacy in the 14th amendment. It was invented by leftists to protect certain immoral behaviors, like abortion, and will eventually be used by the left to support overturning laws against child molestation and pornography.

Initial reading of the decision by Steve Centari on Fox News said the ruling was based on the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

I don't expect that in my lifetime, but I do expect "compelling state interest" to become a larger and larger factor in SCOTUS decisions (i.e. more police state, less freedom) as the rule of law (fundamentally rooted in Constitution) is eaten away.

A right to privacy can be understood to be a right reserved to individuals, clearly the 10th.

I have never had any problem with that "privacy civil right". It was the federalized right to kill preborn children that changed my attitude of SCOTUUS usurpation of power.

Sen. Santorum is proved correct.

14 y.o. and others will be in for the rides of their lives.

10th Amendment says:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The powers of the government are, and of right ought to be, limited.

The 10th amendment is too often ignored.

We know that time is coming, it's a matter of time. Yet another reason we've chosen to keep our children home while the pedophiles wait in the wings with "teaching certificates" to have "valid" relations with children and teens once we get to that point. Everybody had better hope weapons rights don't erode much further. No government has lasted for an extended period of time and I say within 200 years or less, people will be defending themselves again in this country against the government or their deviant neighbors. I don't know if it will even happen in my children's lifetimes, but I intend to arm them with knowledge and power so that they may send the info down through the generations. I really am not a self-reliant kook hiding in the backwoods, but I think the writing is on the walls and a little prudent preperation without being completely paranoid is in order. I intend for my line to carry on when this mess finally explodes and then settles--I don't think that will be possible for a good portion of Americans who have carried the mantra for far too long of "not rocking the boat". Those types will still be passive and giving in even when the gun is to their head.

Which is exactly what the commielib perverts want, especially those who come on the FR and make a great pretense of being Christian and conservative just to argue for the side of darkness.
