Lyn has said that the wingnuts are after Griswold, and today she catches one of 'em in the act. From a CNN NewsNight transcript, our old friend Senator Rick Santorum says it flat out:
SANTORUM: I think there's a right to unreasonable -- to unreasonable search and seizure...
BROWN: For example, if you'd been a Supreme Court judge in Griswold versus Connecticut, the famous birth control case came up, which centered around whether there was a right to privacy. Do you believe that was correctly decided?
SANTORUM: No, I don't. I write about it in the book. I don't.
They believe that government has the right to absolute control over your life. Whether it happens at the state or federal level is a matter of convenience, because they've certainly shown themselves to be pragmatists about states rights and Federalism.
