“I don’t see this ruling surviving federal court scrutiny,”
You want the feds to be involved?
Again, Texas shows the way to fight criminals.
Yeah screw that pesky 400 year old constitution. /s
Kind of like the NKVD fought criminals in the old Soviet Union...
Please refer to #6, above.
(they'll get to your house sooner/later)
Are you freakin' kidding me? If you believe that this is a good idea you belong over on DU not on a freedom-protecting/conservative site. You're for a totalitarian/tyrannical government system.
Um, no; this just shows that Texas has no sense of jurisprudence — if they cannot have those who are tasked with enforcing the law to keep the law then they have surrendered the integrity of the whole judicial system.
Until Texas or the Feds decide that YOU are the criminal. Remember Waco.
If you believe in the US Constitution as the law of the land, the criminals won this court case.
No. Just no.
>Again, Texas shows the way to fight criminals.
Reminds me of a Robert Vaughn line near the end of The Bridge at Remagen, just before he faces an SS firing squad (adapting):
“But who are the criminals?”
[engines overhead “Ours or theirs?” “Enemy planes.” “But who is the enemy?”]
IMO, that’s you (the SS firing squad).
Yeah.
There is a contingent of nutcase leftists who post here in a united front.
They are like the free Mumia people. Same dynamic.
DO AWAY WITH WARRANTS!!!
Unfortunately, abuse of the Constitution does not limit itself to actions against criminals. The police and the justice system become criminals themselves, arresting, shooting, prosecuting, and destroying innocent citizens in their blood lust for power. Innocent people and innocent dogs die at the hands of law and order zealots. This is human nature and is why constraints on government power must be in place and must be enforced.
Police today are not properly constrained and prosecutors and judges are enabling their abuse of power.
That is fine until you are the “criminal”.
You must enjoy the flavor of jackboot on your tongue.
Careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
“Again, Texas shows the way to fight criminals.”
So, you’d be all for standing naked out in front of your house each evening while the State searches your home to be sure neither you and your naked family are criminals or in
possession of “contraband” all in the name of “law enforcement”?
Fighting crime is easy.... Deciding what constitutes a crime....now THATS the tricky part....
The people should be the ONLY ones to decide what crime IS and what is NOT crime..!! Not some stinking COMMIE judge...!
"the jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy....John Jay, 1789.
"The law itself is on trial quite as much as the case which is to be decided"...Harlan F. Stone, 1941.
"The pages of history shine on instances of the jury's exercise of its prerogative to DISRERGARD instructions of the judge"... U.S. vs. Dougherty, 1972.
The fate of our nation could very well be in the hands of the jury..! That's one place we can still fight back...
“Again, Texas shows how to fight criminals.”...That’s fighting criminals? Perhaps, it’s another circumventing of the basic tenets of Our US Constitution. You have any idea, why that would be popular, amongst the police state types? If I have been redundant, please allow that I am extremely stupid.
