Amendment IVThe 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. ...That's how.
Why does it feel like, as members of the general populace, that we have virtually nobody in our own government fighting for us. Why are we reduced to applauding a decision that basically reinforces our already guarenteed rights? Things shouldn't be this bad.
i don't know if this is good for consumers (getting ripped off on bogus pills), but if it helps restore the 4th ammendment, it's a step in the right direction
Exactly. You don't own the files on someone else's computer. Phone calls are covered under other laws. Of course making a logical point gets you dug down in digg kiddie land.
You mean legislation should be taken care of by the legislative branch and not the judicial, just like Article III states? Finally, a voice of reason in a cacophany of voices who don't understand how the government actually works. :)

Theres too much bureaucracy. Just tell the FBI and the president in a phone call that if they do it again they lost their jobs. SIMPLE
