7. The correct answer to this problem is actually the Ninth Amendment!
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

You have a LOT of rights not explicitly enumerated in the Bill of Rights - including the right to privacy. The Ninth Amendment says that you are presumed to have a right unless the Constitution specifically prohibits it to you.

Therefore you have a right to privacy whether or not these Nazi Conservatives want to admit that the Fourth Amendment guarantees a right to privacy (which it also does when it says you have a right to be secure in your persons, papers and effects against unreasonable search and seizure".)
