If this does happen, if there is a moderate revolt to the repressive Supreme Court, we need the democrats' to be able to take advantage of this.  We must start working NOW!  We need to have our issues out in the public eye, already given to them as a better option, ready for when things get bad. We need a massive progressive movement to amend the constitution to include a Right to Privacy, explicitly!  I'm willing to bet an over whelming majority of American (especially right wing libertarians) would support a constitution amendment to codify the individual's right to privacy in issues of the family, marriage, health care, education, speech, etc.  Not only would a Right to Privacy amendment protect things like a woman's right to choose, sodomy (read with broadest meaning without the pejorative stigma), euthanasia, medical use of "illegal" drugs, etc. but it would also help over turn many of the provisions of the Patriot act.  It's time for progressives to start actively campaigning for a constitution amendment codifying the Right to Privacy.   The Right to Privacy is now only a right protected by a moderate Supreme Court.  

With the rightward swing of our government it time for Democrats to go on the attack.  We will no longer be able to rely on the Supreme Court to overturn laws that were protected with the broader readings of the constitution in the past.  It's time to make our rights more specific.  We need to take the wiggle room out of the constitution if we want to protect our right.  The Republicans have been trying for years, we need to catch up.
