The judge said its authors believed people “should forever ‘be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects’ from intrusion and seizure by officers acting under the unbridled authority of a general warrant.”

Surely this is a stretch. The "authors" (founding fathers) could not have believed that the "people" should be forever secure. Maybe the authors beleived "citizens" should be secure, but certainly not potential terrorists, terrorists or mass murderers. There is a perverse and malevalent lack of common sense in this era of weapons of mass destruction this judge exemplifies, that, unless corrected, will result in mass casulties.

Like it or not, Ozzie and Harriet are gone and America's enemies have access to powerful, miniature weapons. We have to deal with that, and non-citizens should be well treated guests but should not have unfettered, anonymous access to our infrastructure.

We can maintain our moral high ground as the country that grants all kinds of rights to illegal aliens but there will eventually be a price to pay.

I believe all residing here are innocent until proven guilty. If he's guilty of an immigration offense, and yet is a material witness that we need to keep around, perhaps there is a legal way to hold him.

If there is no credible evidence to indicate that he committed a crime, LEGALLY, it sounds like he cannot be held.

If a person is here legally, and is living within all rules required of an immigrant or visitor then we ought to leave them alone. OR cancel all visas immediately because of the danger and ship them all out.
