Okay... what section of the Constitution empowers Congress to intervene in this matter?I'm tired now, so I'm not going to write a dissertation, but how about the 4th Ammendment and the 5th Ammendment to the Constitution? Is that enough for you. It's pretty clear that her 4th & 5th Ammendment rights have been ignored, how can you argue otherwise?
