Pollyanna is alive and well.
Ask a leftist about the Constitution, and he’ll tell
you it is a worthless piece of paper written by old dead white men.

It used to be said that progressives could not count from 1 to 10 without skipping 2. Now I guess 4 is gne as well.

I always say, would we have let the British do this to us? That is part of the modern dilemma, .gov has vastly overstepped their limits.

“The most memorable moment of the recent Democratic National Convention was when the father of a Muslim U.S. Army captain killed in Iraq demanded of Donald Trump, “Have you even read the United States Constitution?”

How appropriate that a lie would be the “most memorable moment” when the Children of the Lie have a convention.

Trump hasn’t proposed to violate the Constitution, unlike the demonrats.

Let me offer another interpretation.

Perhaps the police *can* tell who’s a bad guy, and these “innocent” citizens are actually guilty as sin. As cradle-to-the-grave criminals, though, these feral scumbags are very good at avoiding arrest.

Our irredeemably corrupt and depraved political class, and especially their propaganda arm, are all too willing to accept the lies these scum tell, and create a narrative in which racist cops prey on innocent blacks.

We need to give cops more latitude, not less, up to and including the authority to shoot fleeing suspects.

As for probable cause, how about “He was dressed like a criminal; he walked like a criminal; his facial expressions were those of a feral scumbag; his speech was peppered with underworld slang; and he just generally looked crimey?”

Cops know a dirtbag when they see one.

Let’s remember not only the clearly illegal searches and seizures, but also the ones that are “legal” via 50 years of outrageous Supreme Court decisions. These cross all lines of race and sex and religion and income and status and political affiliation.

These are only a few that come to mind immediately:

- Smith vs Maryland, which enables the warrantless NSA dragnet of every phone call and every text of every person — because the phone company uses phone numbers to try to determine who is making obscene or harassing calls

- Dog sniffs of anybody and everybody and any and every vehicle anywhere, supposedly because they will “alert” only on contraband and never, ever make a false positive on your old Sausage McMuffin wrapper or a few hairs from your own dog on your passenger seat or because your neighbor’s dog wizzed on your tire or because you stepped on some dried dog poop six months ago

- The misleading implication of the following kind of conversation, which is just one of many templates regularly employed: “Mind if I come in and look around a little?” “I refuse to consent to any warrantless search.” “Do you want to spend the night in jail?”

- That any “mistake made in good faith” by law enforcement, or that can be claimed to be such, i.e., lying about an “observed” traffic infraction, the smell of alcohol, etc., does not nullify a clearly illegal search

You get the idea.
