How do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy when you are outdoors and able to be photographed? There's no privacy there. You don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy outdoors. I could walk up to you on the street and take your picture and post it on a website and you'd have no legal grounds for an invasion of privacy case because your expectation of privacy is significantly reduced when you are outside of your home. People are even allowed to dig through your trash and it's legal and not a violation of your privacy. You threw it away, so it's no longer yours or in your home, thus YOUR privacy has not been invaded; that person is just going through trash. Abandon the paranoia and come back to reality.

That is invading EVERYONE'S right to privacy. That is a definate invasion of our privacy. This is suppose to be the land of the free! Where are we free anymore with the government watching our every move?

Most people actually read the Constitution backwards – not in its words, but in its meaning.

The Constitution was written under a principle called “positive grant” what this means is simple – if a power is specifically listed (positively there) in the constitution, then (and only then) can the federal government use that power.

The founders felt this principle was so important that they codified it in law as the 10th Amendment.

In short, if a power isn’t spelled out in the constitution and given to the feds, they can’t do it.

I don’t see anything in the Constitution regarding these mundane items, and they are apparently allowed as long as I’m able to turn away without being detained or threatened. The effectiveness of so-called “do not call” lists is hard to judge without knowing how many calls you’d have received had your number not been on the lists. I still regularly receive calls from various “veterans” and law-enforcement fund-raisers. I suppose the lists are legal because most uninvited solicitation calls disturb the sanctity of the home.

Aborting a fetus that would not be viable outside of the mother seems a far sight from murder in my humble opinion. Sorry for the threadjack, back on topic, marriage, gay or otherwise, seems to tread a ground outside the Constitution. It seems too much of religion and government blending together. Marriage needs to be left out of the legal arena. If my religion allows for marriage to multiple partners how can the 10th override the 1st? When the threat to send in the army into Utah territory to end the multiple marriage of the LDS church that was braking the 1st in a major way. As to my previous point I don’t see how the 10th can override any other amendment, this is the only area that seems grey to me.
