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

WalMart cannot go to your house and search, if you are in WalMart's house they can search.

Read post #77 on walmarts 'right' to search unreasonably.

Oath or not, you are bound to protect & defend our Constitution as the Law of the Land.

As soon as the Anti-WalMart search Amendment passes, I'll defend it.

Cute.

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?

Go to a movie theater and yell fire, see how your 1st Amendment rights apply. Or an airport and yell bomb.

Both examples are criminal acts when there are no bombs or fires. Get real.

Your posts here are 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?

Bring cases on both to the Supreme Court and see which survives.

I'd welcome such cases and the clearing of the 'constitutional air' they would raise. -- Your anti-constitutional 'pro-merchant' position would be left with no legs to stand on.

Yes. If you think their search is unreasonable, take action. I'm sure in some % of cases they are. In most I suspect they are reasonable.

Me too.

Anti-Constitutional? Please. Do they post a sign saying bags can be searched? Can you read the sign? If you disagree, shop elsewhere. Or call the police and your lawyer when they stop you at the door. Please let us know how it all plays out.
