The Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution States: 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.
Unreasonable might be the Feds knocking down your door in the middle of the night and arresting you after finding out that your kids had removed one of those federal warning tags from a mattress. Unreasonable might be having the full force of the federal government used to raid your house in the middle of the night to snatch a scared six year old from a relative’s arms so that the child could be returned to a communist dictator (Elian Gonzales). Unreasonable might be having your home surrounded and your family and dog shot to death by FBI agents (Ruby Ridge). Unreasonable might be having scores of people, including many children, burnt to death by miscalculations of a bunch of federal bureaucrats (Wako).
Whatever “unreasonable” is, 99.9% of us wouldn’t put eavesdropping on a terrorists on an international line or running a Geiger counter past their home or the Mosque where they worship aka plot in the “unreasonable” category.
So, in privacy for terrorists and unreasonable search of terrorists, the Dems think that they have finally found the pike upon which to hoist the head of George W. Watch the preening class during the January hearings on eavesdropping and warrantless monitoring of certain Muslims and Mosques. Watch the feigned outrage. Watch the mock horror that this president might actually be taking his constitutional duties as Commander in Chief seriously. Watch Mr. & Mrs. America yawn deeply at the whole spectacle and demand that the president keep doing what he’s been doing.
