I just don't understand why you think it is ok for the press to come into your private life and then publish that information in the news. You can't have it both ways.
Meh. Where it matters (a court of law), privacy is considered a right.

This is why it's almost impossible to get hostile testimony from a spouse admitted into a criminal trial.

This is why warrants are required to breach your right to a reasonable expectation of privacy.

In fact, privacy and property are the only two reasons for the amendment.

Meh. I hang my hat on a documented source from a law school over a bunch of 1's and 0's posted by some dude on the internet hiding behind a bunch of letters who thinks he knows what he is talking about.

So you DON'T think a warrant is necessary to breach your privacy?

And there's no need to be a little bitch about the whole thing, you know.

No, I just trust the source of a documented well known law university for the opinion of Privacy as an issue of Constitutional protection over yours.

Or you could, you know, actually READ the constitution.
