SENATOR SESSIONS ON SECURING AMERICA'S BORDERS ACT Mr. President, I thank Senator Leahy, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. I have received just this afternoon in my office some disturbing news in the form of correspondence from the Congressional Budget Office. It suggests a number of areas where the amendment we are talking about here today, No. 3424, the immigration so-called compromise, violates our budget and the rules of the Senate. Let me read from the correspondence we have received. This is something, as you know, Mr. President, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, that we never discussed at all. It is not a matter we spent any time at all discussing as we moved forward with legislation which ultimately cleared that committee and came to the floor legislation which I thought was not good legislation and which I opposed, and so did the Senator from Texas, who just relinquished the Chair. We didn't discuss the financial impact of the legislation before us. Stand Up For America !

You've been posting some informative articles, if I'm not responding it's because I don't have anything to add to them.

(Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2004 1
Syllabus
NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is
being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is
issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court
but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience
of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S.
321, 337.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Syllabus
MUEHLER ET AL. v. MENA
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
No. 031423. Argued December 8, 2004Decided March 22, 2005
Respondent Mena and others were detained in handcuffs during a
search of the premises they occupied. Petitioners were lead members of a
police detachment executing a search warrant of these premises for, inter
alia, deadly weapons and evidence of gang membership. Mena sued the
officers under 42 U. S. C. §1983, and the District Court found in
her favor. The Ninth Circuit affirmed, holding that the use of handcuffs
to detain Mena during the search violated the Fourth Amendment and that the
officers questioning of Mena about her immigration status during the
detention constituted an inde- pendent Fourth Amendment violation.
Held:
1. Menas detention in handcuffs for the length of the search did not
violate the Fourth Amendment. That detention is consistent with Michigan
v. Summers, 452 U. S. 692, 705, in which the Court held that officers
executing a search warrant for contraband have the au- thority to detain
the occupants of the premises while a proper search is conducted. The
Court there noted that minimizing the risk of harm to officers is a
substantial justification for detaining an occu- pant during a search, id.,
at 702703, and ruled that an officers au- thority to detain incident to a
search is categorical and does not de- pend on the quantum of proof
justifying detention or the extent of the intrusion to be imposed by the
seizure, id., at 705, n. 19. Be- cause a warrant existed to search the
premises and Mena was an oc- cupant of the premises at the time of the
search, her detention for the duration of the search was reasonable under
Summers. Inherent in Summers authorization to detain is the authority
to use reasonable force to effectuate the detention. See Graham v.
Connor, 490 U. S.
386, 396. The use of force in the form of handcuffs to detain Mena
2 MUEHLER v. MENA
Syllabus
was reasonable because the governmental interest in minimizing the risk of
harm to both officers and occupants, at its maximum when a warrant
authorizes a search for weapons and a wanted gang member resides on the
premises, outweighs the marginal intrusion. See id., at 396397.
Moreover, the need to detain multiple occupants made the use of handcuffs
all the more reasonable. Cf. Maryland v. Wilson,
519 U. S. 408, 414. Although the duration of a detention can affect the
balance of interests, the 2- to 3-hour detention in handcuffs in this
case does not outweigh the governments continuing safety inter- ests. Pp.
47.
2. The officers questioning of Mena about her immigration status during
her detention did not violate her Fourth Amendment rights. The Ninth
Circuits holding to the contrary appears premised on the assumption that
the officers were required to have independent rea- sonable suspicion in
order to so question Mena. However, this Court has held repeatedly that
mere police questioning does not constitute a seizure. Florida v.
Bostick, 501 U. S. 429, 434. Because Menas initial detention was lawful
and the Ninth Circuit did not hold that the detention was prolonged by the
questioning, there was no addi- tional seizure within the meaning of the
Fourth Amendment, and, therefore, no additional Fourth Amendment
justification for inquir- ing about Menas immigration status was required.
Cf. Illinois v. Caballes, 543 U. S. ___ , ___ (slip op., at 24). Pp.
78.
3. Because the Ninth Circuit did not address Menas alternative argument
that her detention extended beyond the time the police completed the tasks
incident to the search, this Court declines to ad- dress it. See, e.g.,
Pierce County v. Guillen, 537 U. S. 129, 148, n. 10. Pp. 89.
332 F. 3d 1255, vacated and remanded.
REHNQUIST, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which
OCONNOR, SCALIA, KENNEDY, and THOMAS, JJ., joined. KENNEDY, J.,
filed a concurring opinion. STEVENS, J., filed an opinion concurring in
the judgment, in which SOUTER, GINSBURG, and BREYER, JJ., joined.

To: JustPiper; All
Nice work on the links JP. I just came across
this and maybe someone posted it already but it's good news:
FRIST, BACKING AWAY FROM AMNESTY?
WELNA: What's more, majority leader Frist is backpedaling from his initial support for the Senate compromise, which allows those who've been in the country illegally at least five years, to pursue citizenship. Frist, who's made it clear he'd like to be the next president, told NPR the bill goes too far, and amounts to an amnesty.
Sen. FRIST: When we bring it back, there will be amendments to modify--in the temporary worker program, and probably in the 12-15 million people who are coming out of the shadows--to pull back on the amnesty provisions. I would pull back on the amnesty provisions and will support those amendments.

Good Evening Potlatch...Thank you!
I've been on and off all day. To many side distractions to stay grooved to the forum. There's still quite a few unsettled national and international problems. Seems like America is going to get closed on May 1 by the Communist party. What a laugher. Betcha Wal-Mart will be open

Hi LE. No I didn't see JPs suggestion for shopping at Walmart, I'll have to look for it.
I've been working on some things and haven't had time to read through the thread, lol.

That's just the short slip opinion, which gives enough overview. The full opinion is about 22 pages long in PDF format.

If you insist:
Another 10 Things to do At Walmart
21. Move "Caution: Wet Floor" signs to carpeted areas.
22. Set up a tent in the camping department; tell others you'll only invite them in if they bring pillows from Bed and Bath.
23. Test the fishing rods and see what you can "catch" from the other aisles.
24. Ask other customers if they have any Grey Poupon.
25. Drape a blanket around your shoulders and run around saying, "I'm Batman. Come, Robin--to the Batcave!"
26. TP as much of the store as possible.
27. Randomly throw things over into neighboring aisles.
* I have done this -g-
28. Play with the calculators so that they all spell "hello" upside down.
29. When someone asks if you need help, begin to cry and ask, "Why won't you people just leave me alone?"
30. When 2 or 3 people are walking ahead of you, run between them, yelling, "Red Rover!"
And if all else fails don a Hilliary Mask and ask where's Bill
