Enter the Constitutional Contest! Win big prize money!
In an effort to educate Americans about the Constitution, I am offering a $25 prize to the first person who can show me where the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees American citizens the "right to privacy."
As a special bonus, I am offering a further $50 prize - yes, that's right: FIFTY DOLLARS! - to the first person who can demonstrate where the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees a woman's right to have an abortion. An additional $50 bonus if you can also find the word "trimester" in the Constitution in reference to pregnancy.
And for the Grand Prize, a $100 - ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! - award to the first person to show me where the Constitution of the United States of America establishes "seperation of church and state." (Hint: This is not the 1st Amendment! Remember, the 1st Amendment guarantees that Congress [or: "Congreff," haha] can make no law condoning an establishment of religion, and no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion - essentially, Congress can make NO LAW WHATSOEVER about religion, for those of you who have trouble with logic problems. And the Constitution says that the Court can make no law period. Keep looking! You know it's in there, right?)
SO, there you have it, Ladies and Gentlemen! You could win up to $175 (plus the $50 Trimester bonus!) Please note that to qualify for any of the prizes, you must cite actual passages in the real Constitution of The United States of America. That last part is important. It has to be the American Constitution, or it doesn't count.
Good luck, and happy hunting! I'll round it out with another $50 if you bring me back a few snipe as well.

Sorry, you must have an original gamepiece. No copies or duplications allowed. If you can write it on the actual Constitution with a Sharpie or something, then that might count. As long as 3/4 of the states also write it on there and a bunch of other stuff as well.
Well, the definition of the word "trimester" and its application to the various stages of pregnancy was critical to the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade. Therefore, since the Supreme Court's only responsibility is to determine the constitutionality of laws, they must obviously have found the word "trimester" in the Constitution, right? Keep looking, I'm sure you'll discover the Constitutional basis for their ruling!

The Supreme Court's main job is to find out what the essence of the penumbra is.
