Hell the whole "right to privacy" notion didn't come about until 100 years after the founding of our country, no where is it mentioned in the constitution, however in Griswold v. Conn. all the court needed do was state that it was "implied". You are a few hamburgers short of a value meal if you don't think the judiciary can and doesn't legislate from the bench, and I'm not even limiting it to pissed off conservatives.

Well, isn't "Church and State" based off of letters (or treaties or something, I forget right now) when Jefferson was POTUS? I'd say that's a pretty good basis for it (not inalienable(sp??), but still solid). As for privacy in general, I'd say that it is heavily implied into the founding of our country.
I will agree that at times the judiciary can seem to go over bounds, but I see the current cries of "judicial activism" as nothign but BS political posturing and whining.
