America's government is a Victimocracy.

Look into cases in the 1960's. It is easy to do the research and find out for yourself. You are an internet cut-and-paste maven. Take a look.

every room of your house, since you have no right to privacy. Bet you'd hate that wouldn't you.

Common sense is what the Constitution is set upon. As far as "case" law, I've never heard of a "Case Law" Court. There are three types of law: common, equity, and admiralty. Common law hardly exists any longer, as most all courts are admiralty as designated by the gold fringed flags that fly within them. Take a long look.

As you clearly could see that I referenced the 10th amendment (edit-maybe I didn't, wanted to but I can't find it-I am a big fan of that amendment), then you would already know the answer to the question that I pose. The states should regulate the level of "privacy" as they mostly do. Most writs and warrants originate from And let's be completely honest, the right to privacy at the federal level is much more to do with abortion than any other thing. And a quick search of jursiprudence would take you to the cases that matter in this regard.
I thought that you were a conspiracy guy. As such, all conspiracies generally start with an all powerful central government. Guess what? we are already there and counter to the true design of the government

but then again it is not the place of the federal government, or anyone for that matter to force morals on anyone else. However, I'll look into the searches you've suggested.

As a conspiracy guy, the conspiracies really start ABOVE the central government, in think tanks such as The Bilderburg Group, The Club of Rome, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bohemian Club. Then you have the various foundations, trusts, and the military industrial complex. THEN the federal government.

Like it or not that's the chain of command, with Satan sitting above all of it. He OWNS this system of things!!!

Is that it circumvented a political solution that would have formed. I am a solid believer in the separation of powers. This is such a good example of an issue that fell within the purview of the 10th amendment. Political solutions would have coalesced and we wouldn't have Anthony Kennedy be the most powerful man in America, an unelected jurist that cannot be removed and is not subject to anyone.
I look into your stuff, I will keep an open mind

First, the 4th Amendment only applies to governmental actions(criminal), not actions by private individuals or groups(civil). Until the 1960's, the 4th Amendment didn't even apply to state actions, only Federal. Also, in the 1960's was when the "reasonable expectation of privacy" clause was first established by the courts.

I don't think there was ever an inherent right to any kind of "privacy" in the 4th Amendment until it was later expanded by the courts as Wedge mentioned. Privacy to me means more than just an issue in criminal matters, and I don't see anywhere in law any type of "privacy right" in any matters except criminal.

"I don't see anywhere in law any type of "privacy right" in any matters except criminal"

How about Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives Association.
-------------------------------------------
Caution - The Surgeon General has determined that constant blogging is an addiction that can cause a sedentary life style.

Skinner affirmed that drug/alcohol testing is subject to the 4th Amendment, but basically held that as long as it is done for a reason like safety, it's not a violation. This was a "conservative" ruling and the libs on the court didn't really like it as it said the 4th Amendment doesn't apply because the government's interest in "safety" trumps all else. It's very much an anti-privacy ruling.

Yep, that conservative court implied the safety of many out weighs the rights of a few. I sure hope that a future liberal court does not apply the same logic to the 2nd Amendment.

The right to privacy became the justification for federal action in abortion rights. This was a product of the 60's and circumvented the 10th amendment to the constitution.
