It is unreasonable because the second half of the Amendment states;

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.

And tyranny thrives in secrecy. When government can act under the cloak of secrecy what is to stop them from crushing dissent?

Some people here are going to defend these edicts simply because Republicans are implementing them.

Those same people would be protesting the loudest if Demoncrats were implementing them.

You are right on the money. The slope just got a lot more slippery. When I first got into politics, I didn't think it was going to be the Republicans that sold us down this river. What congress is doing to the Constitution is treason.
