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.
Agreed! And my point exactly.The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Note:
- "unreasonable" = unwarranted (+/-)
- "shall not be violated" = absolute
- The check for "probable cause" will bounce if it does not result in conviction by due process.
Swing Justice Potter Stewart and Justice Hugo Black disagreed in Griswold v Connecticut. The decision was 7 - 2 in favor. The big deal was Justice Douglas, ultra liberal accused-activist Judge. Doe any of it matter?
Question
Does the Constitution protect the right of marital privacy against state restrictions on a couple's ability to be counseled in the use of contraceptives?

No, they don't have to be enumerated. That's why the Tenth Amendment states:.
Do rights have to be enumerated in the Constitution for them to be held by people?

After reading the OP question and responses thru a painfully slow process… The answer to the question is NO. There is no right to privacy in the US Constitution..
Do rights have to be enumerated in the Constitution for them to be held by people?

No, they don't have to be enumerated. That's why the Tenth Amendment states:
"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."
Actually that is the NINTH Amendment. The Tenth is a specific statement of limitation on the Federal Government. The 9th is the one to explicitly say that not every right is enumerated.
This question exhibits a fundamental misunderstanding of how the Constitution works. It's not a list of rights.Does a Right to Privacy Exist somewhere with in the US Constitution, and if so can you point to it?
simple: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."Swing Justice Potter Stewart and Justice Hugo Black disagreed in Griswold v Connecticut.

A right to privacy can be inferred from several amendments in the Bill of Rights, and this right prevents states from making the use of contraception by married couples illegal.
If the government has to establish a probability that a person has committed or is committing or about to committed a crime before it can get a warrant to search a suspect’s home or peruse a suspect’s records, then there is necessarily some Constitutional concern for the right of the people to privacy.How so? If I were a constructionist or texualist, strict or loose, how would you convince me? Where is privacy mentioned?

that's not about privacy LOLIf the government has to establish a probability that a person has committed or is committing or about to committed a crime before it can get a warrant to search a suspect’s home or peruse a suspect’s records, then there is necessarily some Constitutional concern for the right of the people to privacy.

Indirectly, the principle of respecting individual liberty rights and freedom until and unless there is probable cause to issue a warrant to conduct a specific "search and seizure" (and not to deprive or disparage a person's natural rights without due process of the laws) implies and includes a person's "right to security in their persons houses and effects" which overlaps with the concept of personal private space.that's not about privacy LOL
too funny
were natural rights ever mentioned in English/British documents the American Colonists were appealing to in arguments to their Sovereign King?Indirectly, the principle of respecting individual liberty rights and freedom until and unless there is probable cause to issue a warrant to conduct a specific "search and seizure" (and not to deprive or disparage a person's natural rights without due process of the laws) implies and includes a person's "right to security in their persons houses and effects" which overlaps with the concept of personal private space.
Hello emthe principle
The whole protest and petition is about natural rights to consent, no taxation without representation, and the nature of man to require democratic self govt because of free will. The whole process has always been about establishing and restoring the sense of justice and security. That's all humans want. We want our consent, freedom and security, we want to be free of the impositions and abuse or force of others competing against us for their own benefits and control.were natural rights ever mentioned in English/British documents the American Colonists were appealing to in arguments to their Sovereign King?
