The privacy right includes the right to be left alone by the government as much as possible; thereby remaining free to make your life descisions without interference by unrelated parties. Not to be subject to unwarranted intrusions into your personal life is what the right of privacy protects.
Thats why you have a right to control your medical treatment in the event of a terrible and terminal illness without some busybodies dictating how you can be treated.
We all saw how the Congress rushed to screw with the Terry Schiavo family under pressure from religous wacko's. Thank God there is a higher court to deter that kind of interference.
Thats why the court is and should be the last word. Thats what the framers wanted; the court to reign in politicaly motivated extremists in the Legislature like we saw in that case.
Right of Privacy. Thank God they thought of it.
