Window Peeking is Bettter Than Peking Duck Says Justice Alito.


"In a public ruling made this week while peering into the home of 28-year-old resident Laura Daltry, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito stated that "in no way whatsoever" is the right to privacy explicitly upheld by the U.S. Constitution.
‘After careful consideration, it is this justice's finding that there is no specific mention of the right to privacy in any of the 27 amendments,’ Alito whispered, before furtively looking around and then jimmying Daltry's bathroom window ajar with a penknife. ‘A rigorous originalist interpretation of the pertinent statutory language has yielded the conclusion that privacy is not now, nor has it ever been, a federally protected liberty.’"  See, Right To Privacy Not Guaranteed By Constitution, Says Supreme Court Justice Peeking In Bathroom Window

For those of you who aren't as up on such stuff as much as me'n libertas, the Ninth Amendment goes sumthin like this "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Good point libertas. Wake up Nino. You were never one of my favorites Justice O'Conner, but I sure do miss you now.
