It's called the Fourth Amendment, and it's a casualty of first the stupid war on drugs and now another imperial presidency.

It's turning out that this, together with the first, may be the most important things the framers gave us.

Regarding the site name:

The word "privacy" does not appear anywhere in the U.S. Constitution. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution as supporting a right to limited privacy in specific cases argued under various amendments such as those involving search and seizure cases, the right of adults to engage in private consensual sexual activities, and a woman's right to choose to end a pregnancy in the first trimester, nowhere does the Constitution itself affirm that we have a fundamental right to privacy.

Hence, any right to privacy we may have is subject to the interpretation of an existing court instead of being affirmed in an amendment. Current times clearly illustrate the obscurity of privacy and its interpretation within the current Amendments. We believe the Right to Privacy needs to be specifically incorporated into the Constitution, and consider it to be The Missing Amendment.

We realize that some people may associate the phrase "missing amendment" with a controversy concerning a "title of nobility" amendment, but in terms of our fundamental rights, the Right to Privacy is truly The Missing Amendment.
