zone of privacy

A quick definition of zone of privacy:

Zone of Privacy: A set of important privacy rights that are not specifically mentioned in the Bill of Rights but are implied by its guarantees. These rights are often referred to as the "penumbra" or "right of privacy" and are considered fundamental to our constitutional law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The zone of privacy refers to a set of fundamental privacy rights that are not explicitly stated in the Bill of Rights but are implied by its express guarantees. It is also known as the right of privacy.

Examples: The zone of privacy includes the right to make personal decisions about marriage, family, and procreation without government interference. It also includes the right to keep personal information, such as medical records and financial information, confidential.

For example, the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade established a woman's right to privacy in making decisions about her own body, including the decision to have an abortion. This decision was based on the idea that the Constitution protects a woman's right to privacy in matters of personal health and family planning.

Another example is the case of Griswold v. Connecticut, which established the right to privacy in the use of contraceptives. The Supreme Court ruled that the state could not prohibit the use of contraceptives by married couples, as this violated their right to privacy in making decisions about their own bodies and family planning.

These examples illustrate how the zone of privacy protects individuals from government intrusion into personal decisions and information. It recognizes that individuals have a right to make choices about their own lives without interference from the state.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
