I'm guessing you are being facetious, but for those who are curious, here is Wikipedia's summary on the matter (and everyone knows that Wikipedia is 100% accurate):

 

The U.S. Supreme Court has found that the Constitution implicitly grants a right to privacy against governmental intrusion. This right to privacy has been the justification for decisions involving a wide range of civil liberties cases, including Pierce v. Society of Sisters, which invalidated a successful 1922 Oregon initiative requiring compulsory public education, Griswold v. Connecticut, where a right to privacy was first established explicitly, Roe v. Wade, which struck down a Texas abortion law and thus restricted state powers to enforce laws against abortion, and Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down a Texas sodomy law and thus eliminated state powers to enforce laws against sodomy.

[Blarg]

It figures that Texans were the first to fight for the right to sodomize each other.

[Tank]

Duh. It's in our constitution. It's the 4th commandment.......
