As I said, you and I will have to agree to disagree about the quality of remedy. The actual harm you're talking about, however, was not caused by the manufacture of the Exclusionary Rule, which is a very small part of judicial overreach.

That abuse began with John Marshall. Jefferson wanted to impeach, convict, and remove all of Adam's "Midnight Judges." I wish he had succeeded. But The Constitution's relegation to the role of a toy for the Federal judiciary precedes the overreach of the Exclusionary Rule by more than a century.

You want to talk about actual harm? Chief Justice Taney's overreach got 2% of the entire US population killed. Griswold v. Connecticut was a decision that led to a Holocaust. The creation of the Federal Exclusionary rule, or even its Incorporation is not very high on the list of usurped powers. John Robert's 0bamacare ruling is far worse. It turns the Congressional Power to tax into a plenary power -- completely the opposite of the plain wording in Article I of the Constitution. Liberals don't even need the abuse of the Commerce Clause anymore...

Again, you need to learn some history.

During the "many decades" since Roosevelt sent us down the present road to serfdom, Eisenhower closed the Mexico boarder and deported about 80,000 Mexicans in one year during Operation Wetback, and an additional approximately 2 million self-deported fearing arrest.

Get the rundown here, among many places: http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0706/p09s01-coop.html

Our problem isn't that illegals are voting. Our problem is that Americans are.

I am not talking of the individual acts related to the “exclusionary rule”, but the greater error it is but one part of - judges writing their own Constitution from the bench; It strikes at the heart of what it is supposed to mean to be nation governed by a government of laws, not men, and where the nation’s most basic law, the Constitution, is ONLY to be written by we the people, not mere judges. That greater error and the tyranny it establishes makes any “abuse” of any “exclusionary rule” pale by comparison, as a structural and foundational error.

No? Then why are you evading the question?

You need to reboot yourself...

Ya got tens of millions here who work, drive, and vote...They've changed your history, language and electoral process....You're just too ignorant to know it.

Yes, I blame the American people.

Of course you do...Never mind Americans have been voting for, pleading, begging, protesting, petitioning and demanding basic things like border protection and control for many decades...

Say, isn't securing and protecting our borders one of the few things govenrment is supposed to do????

Why are you evading the questions?
