Does the man that Cheney shot have a right to medical privacy?

According to Roe v. Wade he does

it's not, \n\nIf the ACLU or some real constitutional lawers would step up to the plate and challange it, we could get somewhere.  \n\nand for the guy who said we don't have a right to privacy, how about you read the bill of rights.  \n\n"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."\n\nso "sneek and peek" wouldn't exactly be constitutional.

See short answer from Sully already posted.  Under trial for "high crimes and misdemeanors" YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS HE COULD!  If zippergate qualifies, taking away guaranteed constiutional rights from Americans privacy via passage and reauthorization of the Patriot Act (specifically section 213 and 215 which deal with "sneak and peak provisions" and the expansion of access to citizen's private medical records.)  SCREW THAT!

Interesting, but I think the truth lies closer to reality that he wanted to stay in the closet, repuglicans do not like to be outed,as repuglicans are not very tolerant of Gay's. When is the last time that Dick Cheney mentioned his daughter in a political speech. Probably about the twelfth of never.

Being a neocon goon, I'm certain his mortified. Tough shet for him though. With any normal/compassionate person they would be advocating for their daughter and her right to be treated with dignity and respect. Not Cheney however, he just buries his head in the sand and focuses on other more "pressing" matters such as shooting people in the head or being part of the most criminal administration in history. Don't you wish he was your Father?

There never was a such thing as privacy, Mack. The government has all kinds of information about you and I. As long as we have a social security number, the government can literally bring up a whole mountain of information on anybody in an instant. So, really the bill of rights protects civil liberties to an extent. You can say what you want as long as it is true, otherwise it's slander and you can be sued, and you can have the right to an attorney paid for by the courts, but you only get a public defender.

There is no amendment that states that. But in Roe vs Wade, the big Abortion case. The supreme court cited the 14th Amendment and the "right to privacy" extended to a woman and her body.\n\nRead more on the link provided.

What makes you think Cheney did that on accident? I sure don't think it was an accident, I think he really wanted to kill the man for not following orders about Scooter Libby. These people are Nazi's.

What business is it of yours to invade someone's private life?  We are told there is a right to privacy, at least according to Roe that protects that right from other people's prying eyes.

The Constitution does not mention abortion. It does, however, guarantee you the right to privacy.

I believe photographers have a basic right to photograph people in public settings when those people being photographed don't have an expectation that they are behaving in a private manner.\n\nTo me, no matter who you are you have a right to privacy.  Celebrities should be able to conduct their lives away from the business of being celebrities without having to fight off photographers.  \n\nObviously there are trade-offs to everything and I'm sure most celebrities understand the concept of "being in the limelight".  I just think that being famous or well-known doesn't automatically exclude you from ever being able to live like a normal person again.

He broke the thou shalt not shoot thy friend in the face law.  What an idiot.\n\nUsually we are worried about who might shoot our president not who out pres and vice will shoot.  Scary world we live in.

It probably was an accident. I mean, why would Cheney shoot his fellow Republican on purpose?

I think if it hadn't been for Cheney the V.P, he would have sued the **** out of the person who shot him.  The fact that he didn't sue Cheney doesn't necessarily mean that he's an incompetent lawyer.  Probably he was paid off on the side...or given some lifelong benefit that discouraged the lawyer from sueing.

It is SUPPOSED to be protected.  There are confidentiality rules that prohibit doctors, insurance companies, and so forth from telling employers or anyone else about the medical conditions the employees are being treated for.\n\nBut even if the docs and the insurers don't tell, the employer might still find out.  If she has told you, she might have told someone else as well.  That person might mention something in casual conversation ("Isn't it too bad about Jennifer?   I wonder if her boyfriend knows?  I sure wouldn't want to have to tell *my* boyfriend that I am HIV positive.")  Word gets around after a while, and she had better be prepared to keep her secret completely or there is a good chance it will get out.  After all, how many official government secrets get leaked one way or another?  It happens every week.\n\nBottom line: she is safe from official disclosure, but that is not the same as being completely safe from accidental disclosure.\n\nGood luck to her and to you!!

Yes!  I think he not only attempted to kill him. I think he DID kill him. Its just a right wing consipiracy that is trying to have it seem like he is alive. They are using trick photography you know.  But they assinated him so Cheney could get his heart. Cheneys been looking for a new heart transplant and Whittington was a perfect match.  They have also killed all of Whittingtons family.  they have just hid all this from the press.
