Maybe you aren't misspeaking, as 9 & 10 have been used creatively in certain cases. Not that I think its a bad thing, but I do find it interesting that the word privacy is not found in the Bill of Rights.

I always saw the right to privacy bueried in 9 and 10, but I can see where 4 makes more sense. Another interesting point, 'marriage' and 'homosexual' don't show up in the BOR either. I dunno. I'm not even sure if I'd need the right to privacy to be in the BOR at all. It always has seemed to be to be fundamental, like freedom of speech. While I realize my perceptions are not always alike those of others, it surprses me that so many do not feel a right to privacy is necessary.
