A dictatorial government operating outside any Constitutional boundaries and supported by a Congress that thinks it will be the last to be eaten.

And how I DOUBT one would be able to have the illegal search data thrown out; regardless of the ‘crimes’ (yea, they WILL be plural...anything that will stick). No discovery allowed (National Security, you don’t say?) and your assets ‘frozen’

Just paint Jade Helm on the side of the aircraft and everyone can calm down.

There is a small plane flying around here for the third day in a row. It flies at various low altitudes, numerous times at 500 feet. Makes me think of Henry Hill.
