Actually, I think the argument is simpler. There can be no constitutional prohibition against capital punishment on the grounds that it is "cruel and unusual" because the Constitution itself mandates the penalty for treason. Similar, the right to privacy cannot be raised too high, because it can be violated by simple warrant, in a criminal procedure. In other words, even if it exists, it does not demand the highest standard of scrutiny to be set aside.
