Have to disagree with you there. Your premise would imply, for example, that your employer could enter your home without permission to enforce some mandate that the employer had. It would imply that your employer could require you to submit all your personal computers for examination to enforce an employer compliance desire. No. The Bill of Rights ensures they cannot do this or any number of other things that would violate your Constitutional rights. The Bill of Rights does not apply only to the government. It was drummed into us in my MBA program that you cannot enforce any provision of a contract that violates or waive someones Constitutional rights.
