> No Third Amendment, eh? <

The 3A wouldn’t help had this happened in the United States. The courts have ruled that the 3A applies to quartering soldiers, and soldiers only. So the government can quarter police officers, bums, illegals, etc. in your house and the 3A will not apply.

I mentioned police officers for this reason:

Funny how they interpret things like the commerce clause and the general welfare clause as outrageously expansively as possible, but the Third (and Second) Amendments as absolutely narrowly as possible. In both cases to the benefit of government and the detriment of citizens.

“”The courts have ruled that the 3A applies to quartering soldiers, and soldiers only. So the government can quarter police officers, bums, illegals, etc. in your house and the 3A will not apply.””

With that interpretation, HOW would police officers (covered in later post, I see), bums, illegals etc., be allowed to take over a person’s home when they are certainly not soldiers?
