You just said it, the Constitution implies a Right to Privacy. While it is not stated explicitly, its certainly in there.

This courts in this case acknowledged the Right to Privacy implicit within the Constitution.

It is also notably subject to change.
As is the Constitution itself. What's your point?

Quote:
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 is U.N. You may see yourself as a citizen of the world but most of us are citizens of our respective nations.
We are citizens of both. I'm sure thats tough to grasp, what with your fervent worship of America and all, but International Law applies to us as well.

Its an ideal signed by numerous nation states which will act as they see fit anyway. Its not even "universally agreed on....its an advisory declaration...
It was signed by the US, and once it was ratified became International Law, non-binding, but important all the same.
