In a move that flies not only in the face of the U.S. Constitution but defies common law dating back to the Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that residents of the Hoosier state have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.
In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David, writing for the majority, expressed the view that
a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence. We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.

The insanity continues.
The bedrock of a totalitarian state. Might makes right.
WHAT THE F-ING F?????????????????????
People should start rioting over this one
The Court’s Majority Opinion was written by Judge David. A Mitch Daniel’s appointee. In case we needed any more proof Daniels isn’t fit for the Presidency.

ThatÂs what the Indiana Supreme Court decided in what would be a laughable finding if it wasnÂt so serious: Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes. The author of the story reporting this is right  somehow the ISC managed, in one fell swoop, to overturn almost 900 years of precedent, going back to the Magna Carta.

Unbelieveable. Velkome to Amerika.
He obviously has not considered the consequences, intended or unintended.
Nope, there was no illegal entry. Guy didn't live there. Woman who did called in the cops. End of story. This was a case of a new Chief Justice who'd been a colonel most of his life taking a chance to pontificate and beat people over the head.
He should be removed for that.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Rush started his show saying this is the most important thing that isn’t being reported. He’s on a tangent.
Thanks for the list.
Rush’s fact checkers were probably resting up from the weekend. Gad.
Oh, I don’t know. We have time for all that and the Constitution too.
It’s not a Fourth Amendment case. Read it.
Good for him! I’m shocked.
Sorry. I searched, but clearly I didn’t do a good job.
These people are friggin’ insane!
Clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment; this will be overturned by a higher court very soon.
The judges voting for this were/are ignorant fools, unsuitable for the positions they hold.
