With a single national standard imposed by the courts everywhere. Leftist love centralized control--- And if they don't choose your standard, use the courts to force them

This is called rule of law. The same interpretation of the law everywhere is called equal protection. These are fundamental principles of our republic. Only you could turn protections against tyranny to be instruments of tyranny.

Furthermore, as I am sure Darren would point out, succinctly, this argument about states rights is moot. It is not an issue before this Court because Appellees have not made states rights an issue in this case. The question before the COA is the question of the application of Federal Standards to search and seizure to the facts of this case. No one has made the argument that those standards do not apply or that the Federal Courts do not have jurisdiction. That is the sole question that they can decide.

This is called rule of law.

Law by judicial fiat, overriding all municipal law and regulation. Sorry, you and the ACLU have a ways to go before you get there.

I couldn't explain it better, but I want to add that this is in federal court, because it was brought on 4th Amendment grounds. Federal Question. This could have been brought in state court as well. Jurisdiction wasn't questioned by either side. This case started in distict court. Irony is that it probably helps the school that it IS in federal court, which in civil matters tend to be more friendly to the defense.

This isn't bringing the feds involved in anything that they don't already have jurisdiction.
