At the heart of the case is an intersection of the Fourth Amendment, which protects people from unreasonable searches, and the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.

The courts are too busy inventing new "rights" (e.g., abortion and gay sex) to protect the ones we already have.

It's important to distinguish between 'constitutional' and 'civil rights'....and I sincerely doubt most gov't. bueaucrats know the difference between the two.

How about the First? Shouldn't freedom of speech include the right to keep one's mouth closed?
