[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2221730, member: 63925"] This is when we ALL need to barrage our representatives whether they are Democrat or Republican, doesn't matter. We need to tell them we will not forget at election time and they will be replaced. We can also write to the Supreme Court to express our rights. BUT here is a recent ruling on the 4th Amendment in May that was unanimous (9-0) on illegal search and seizure. And in this case, the Supreme Court sided unanimously with the Constitution, and upheld a significant citizen right. The case was Caniglia v. Strom whose house was searched by officers without a warrant. When they were there, the cops seized two firearms, and without a search warrant. Caniglia then sued law enforcement, arguing that the police had violated his Fourth Amendment right against search and seizure. The police argued the search had been conducted lawfully under the “community caretaking” exception. The United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a so-called exception to the Fourth Amendment called ‘community caretaking’ does not permit police officers to enter and search your home without first obtaining a search warrant, even if doing so may be in the public’s interest. This is really a big deal since it eliminates the so called "in the public interest" wild card used to violate your rights. We do have recourse with the Supreme Court and hopefully they will continue to uphold the Constitution as it was written! [/QUOTE]
