Right To Privacy Not Guaranteed By Constitution, Says Supreme Court Justice Peeking In Bathroom Window



Justice Samuel Alito ruled there is no constitutional obligation to ring your doorbell first/

WESTON, FL—In a public ruling made this week while peering into the home of 28-year-old resident Laura Daltry, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito stated that "in no way whatsoever" is the right to privacy explicitly upheld by the U.S. Constitution.

"After careful consideration, it is this justice's finding that there is no specific mention of the right to privacy in any of the 27 amendments," Alito whispered, before furtively looking around and then jimmying Daltry's bathroom window ajar with a penknife. "A rigorous originalist interpretation of the pertinent statutory language has yielded the conclusion that privacy is not now, nor has it ever been, a federally protected liberty."

3. This is a far right position used to discredit Roe V Wade.
