Would you use this terminology if the use of wiretaps saved a member of you family.

And what if it was YOUR INNOCENT FAMILY MEMBER who was imprisoned for 7 years or more for being a SUSPECT? What if YOU are the one who had their business assets seized without a warrant? What happens when it's YOUR ox being gored? What happens when YOU get tarred and feathered because of something an acquaintance does that you had no idea about?
This is EXACTLY what I mean about cherry-picking the Constitution I'll QUOTE it FOR you since you seem to have a hole in your memory where the ENTIRE FOURTH AMMENDMENT BELONGS:
Quote:

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.

There is no "unless we don't feel like issuing a warrant" in there. This is why they're no longer allowed to seize your house or boat just because a guest of yours might have had marijuana in their possession while under your roof! (Remember THAT wonderful little controversy from the 1980s?)
You complain (justifiably) about Obama trampling the Constitution to provide health care but you give a pass to THIS? Outrageous!
