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

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?

-- The Oath of Citizenship --

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.

Of course it is. But we all agree to abide by our Constitution as our supreme law.

Walmart searches are not enunmerated, but unreasonable searches are, -- in the 4th, as you well know.

Makes no difference. Oath or not, you are bound to protect & defend our Constitution as the Law of the Land.

Does that mean I don't have to defend the Constitution?

Welcome to America.

My, how proud it must make you to claim our constitutional principles do not apply to merchants.
-- Since when are merchants exempt from our rule of law?

Round you go. I show you the 4th Amendment. -- You deny "unreasonable searches" applies.

This is typical, for instance, of those who deny that the 2nd does not apply to merchants, -- that they can ban guns from employees & customers cars. Ring a bell?
