Need a little help...

I have a conservative neighbor who forgetting he was a frothing at the mouth pre-Vatican II Catholic mentioned that I went to the March for Women's lives. He gave me a envelope with two editorials from the Moonie Times.

I mentioned this to my parents and they asked me not to go lay into him because he is a neighbor and in the name of family and communal harmony.

So firstly, I just want to confirm the following:

1. The founders of the American Republic were Deists.

2. The constution remains silent on privacy with a cursorily reading. How has it been inferred to be included?

On the bright side I think I got his goat (otherwise I would never received the envelop of newspaper clippings).

And he quoted the Constitution as if he was a student in a Saudi Funded Madras.

1. Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965....

was the first Supreme Court privacy case I believe (birth control)... something about "penumbras from the emanations" of other constitutional rights
