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:



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!

"A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both and deserve neither" - Thomas Jefferson. [Side note - Red State Texas decided to eliminate Thomas Jefferson from the curriculum, apparently because of his anti-organized-Christianity quotes from back then]
