My fundamental question here is what underlying view of the world, what principle, what overwhelming issue requires that, can only logically stand if we support strip searching young ladies on the grounds that we might find an illicit Advil? None of my cherished principles require it, and if I discovered one that did, I would abandon it forthwith, forswear it on the spot. My cherished principles require that this not go on in our country, in our society.
What public enterprise founders when we abandon the power of school officials to strip search girls?
I do not understand it. Clearly if you had any sense of public relations, you would have understood that you endanger anything you stand for by standing for this.
If you came to me and said the survival of the Republic stands on the power of school officials to strip search students, I would tell you that then you have already lost the Republic. Such a Republic is not one that we want to live in. Such a principle as the 4th ammendment is one we fight for, and its abandonment is not something we fight with. Not even to counter terrorism. Not even -- especially not, for this is what distinguishes us from the terrorists, and from Muslims who believe that a women are just property and have but a second place position in society with no rights and less freedom that stray dogs wandering the streets. Nothing could have done more to encourage our enemies and defeat out ability to counter terrorism that the spectacle of Abu Ghraib which was built on the same fundamental lack of decency and principle as was displayed in this school with this incident. Decent people don't treat people this way. Our friends, or our enemies.
Not only are you immoral, and dumb, you have destroyed whatever cause you stood for or stand for again. The next time you take a stand on an issue I will look at the issue and say, why would an enabler of child molesters take this position or support this cause. I will be agin' it on impulse, no rather through the repellent force of your argumentation here on this subject.
In brief, you are one sick puppy, no that insults puppies. You are one sick monster.
Try sticking to the facts published in the decision, not personal fantasies.
