ORIGINAL: cadenas More importantly, it is about the right to privacy. Actually, it's not. They 'justified' their decision by citing that amendment, but that's sooo not what it was about. Thank you for confirming my point: the Ninth Amendment dues guarantee privacy - and SCOTUS confirmed that fact by, as you correctly state, citing it in Roe (and in Grisworld). Actually, they didn't just "cite" it but rather actually heavily relied on it. Without the right to privacy, Roe and Grisworld would both collapse. quote:

ORIGINAL: cadenas The Supreme Court has already decided that in the McIntyre case. The right to free speech fundamentally requires the right to remain anonymous. Cowardice requires the right to remain anonymous. Free speech does not. And as I look at tbe bill of rights, I don't see "Right to remain anonymous" anywhere in there. There is nothing in the First Amendment that says "you have to be a superhero in order to have free speech". In the contrary, free speech means, speech without retribution even against those you are afraid of. And I find it interesting that your interpretation of the Constitution should matter more than the Supreme Court's. They already decided this matter (in McIntyre).
