“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.” - 4th Amendment.

It protects "the people", not the government. The people have rights. The government has powers.

“The people have rights. The government has powers.”

Under Obama the government has rights, the bureaucracy has unlimited, unchecked power and the people have only the privileges those two entities deign to give them.

I wonder why Left is so anxious to disarm the population?/s

The 4th protects "the people," NOT the government (Lois Lerner is the government).

We, the people have rights.

The government has powers.......powers given to them BY THE PEOPLE.
