Got questions? Alito has answers. politico.com what happens to the penumbral right to privacy? I tend to think the word "penumbra" should never be used again in any ruling. Way too easy to mock. Emanations? meh Maybe they should hire True the Vote to go after the possible leakers? Cell phone tracking from Supreme Court to Politico offices. Some legal staffer likes their casual sex options a bit too much, it would appear. If it's not in the Constitution, it's reserved to the States, so there will be a lot of options - testing what is best.
