Just read the news; they're working on it. Right to privacy is #1 on the list right now (this includes but is not limited to Fourth and Fifth amendment rights), with the various trial-related rights strong contenders for #2 (and if you are a non-citizen, they jump to #1). On separate fronts -- copyright and national security -- they've been working on freedom of speech and of the press. Of course gun rights are always a favorite to take away, but they seem to be avoiding those at the moment (after one aborted attempt), probably because gun-rights supporters include a lot of "my country right or wrong" patriots, and the last thing the govt wants to do is alienate them now.
