I said that the court was correct, that the one could draw from the Constitution a concern with privacy rights, but that the mistake was to make it a trump, when all that was required to invade privacy was a reasonable state interest.

I don't think the court was correct. I think there are constitutional rights that have to do with privacy but not a constitutional right to privacy, the constitutional rights are specific. If you take a specific legal right, attempt to figure out the general principle behind that right, and then apply that general principle to any number of situations as an right you can have the law or the constitution say just about anything you (or really the SC) wants it to mean.
