Fed Gov has absolutely no authority to spy on us. The 4th Amendment is very clear: "shall not be violated".

The intent of the Founding Fathers was that every word of our Constitution is to apply equally to every official in government -- especially to the policing agencies and tax collectors.

Apparently they cannot read.

The magic word is "unreasonable" -- one cannot pretend to be an expert on the Constitution without dealing with the fact that the Constitution does not ban searches and seizures, just require that they be reasonable.

Hells Bells, Doug, don't you know this is post 9/11 and those nasty old terrorists are going to destroy this country if we don't ignore that obsolete piece of paper you call the constitution. How are we supposed to defend ourselves if we don't let the gubermint snoop on us? Besides that, it's the republicans that want to tear up the constitution--WHICH MEANS IT'S OK----so there!

"Liberty is never unalienable; it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes. Of all the so-called natural human rights that have ever been invented, liberty is the least to be cheap and is never free of cost." -RAH
