    Who thinks what they type out is private? For you and only you? And shared with only those you want to share with? There is a new system on the drawing board. I will present a video and those wanting privacy can check it out. It is non political. So how do you respond? Would you love to know you are protected? And this might be the first video to invite the experts on this to participate. So what do you say?

    Was this valuable for you?

    i disagree strongly with the federalist society on the issue of privacy as a constitutional right, but that case (the repeal of roe vs wade) will be decided 6-3 or worse.

    Robert Bork’s The Right of Privacy: Summary & Analysis | SchoolWorkHelper

    The originalist view is that judges must strictly adhere to the language of the Constitution, thus people do not have a general right to privacy because it was never actually written into the Constitution.

    There was a time in this country when privacy was NOT an illusion, but those days are long gone in this age of universal deception.

    Privacy (depending on how it's defined) is an illusion, as is bodily autonomy, as is the notion that we live in a democracy.

    When everything the American people believe is false, we will know the successes of our misinformation efforts.

    I do not understand.
    So if the cops walk into your home and snoop for 6 hrs., you are good with that? The cops rights are more powerful than yours are?
    Roe v Wade is not a good example of privacy.

    I find nothing by Bork other than he wrote the foreword to this book.

    Privacy extends into your home and files and records. That part is in the constitution.

    Only your thoughts are private, start to worry when they create an app that can read minds.

    i believe that privacy IS a constitutional right, and that no amount of "originalism" can change that.

    without a right to privacy, the situation you describe would be perfectly normal.

    are you serious? you really don't know that conservatives do not see privacy as a constitutional right?

    "The question of whether the Constitution protects privacy in ways not expressly provided in the Bill of Rights is controversial. Many originalists, including most famously Judge Robert Bork in his ill-fated Supreme Court confirmation hearings, have argued that no such general right of privacy exists. "

    The right to privacy is one thing. The right to monetize my privacy by another entity is entirely another issue.

    Regarding privacy, Mr. Justice Brandeis spoke of it a century ago: "The makers of our Constitution....conferred, as against the government, the right to be let alone--the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men."

    It is good that Bork was rejected for the position. He talked at the time as though he had never read the Ninth Amendment.

    browse the "federalst society" web site for a while and note that bork is not alone. 6 supreme court justices (and nearly every judge appointed by repubs) is a member. "originalism" may sound conservative, but i'm not so sure that it is.
