We are all 'limited' by our Constitutional laws, and we are all bound to support & defend its basic principles, including the bill of rights.

-- The Oath of Citizenship --

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;
that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law;
that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law;
that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law;
and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. In acknowledgment whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.

Cute. So I guess we need to defend the Constitution where it says gov agents can't do unreasonable searches.

Those of us that value our oath do so. -- Others that think its 'cute' don't.

Still doesn't apply to the merchant.

How so? Since when are merchants exempt from our rule of law?

No, the government's power is limited by the Constitution. Where in the Bill of Rights did it say WalMart can't search your bag?

Like I said, cute. I'm a citizen and I never took the oath. Does that mean I don't have to defend the Constitution?

Those of us that value our oath do so. -- Others that think its 'cute' don't.

Welcome to America.

How so? Since when are merchants exempt from our rule of law?

You'll have to show me the law that says a merchant can't search your bag.
