Biden Administration Urges Supreme Court To Let Cops Enter Homes And Seize Guns Without A Warrant
Forbes ^ | 03/23/2021 | Nick Sibilla

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear oral argument in Caniglia v. Strom, a case that could have sweeping consequences for policing, due process, and mental health, with the Biden Administration and attorneys general from nine states urging the High Court to uphold warrantless gun confiscation. But what would ultimately become a major Fourth Amendment case began with an elderly couple’s spat over a coffee mug.

(snip)

But in its first amicus brief before the High Court, the Biden Administration glossed over these concerns and called on the justices to uphold the First Circuit’s ruling. Noting that “the ultimate touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is ‘reasonableness,’” the Justice Department argued that warrants should not be “presumptively required when a government official’s action is objectively grounded in a non-investigatory public interest, such as health or safety.”

Unfortunately, I think you are correct.

Only a civil war (or a COS, but that is a different topic) can destroy the Republic.

The sheriff you elect may be the most important person you vote for.

This is a 4th amendment issue not a 2nd.

In United States constitutional law, the penumbra includes a group of rights derived, by implication, from other rights explicitly protected in the Bill of Rights. These rights have been identified through a process of "reasoning-by-interpolation", where specific principles are recognized from "general idea[s]" that are explicitly expressed in other constitutional provisions.

All rights were written, in English, and mean what they said.

The penumbra gave us the right to kill a baby, but not to keep our home safe from search and steal by the gummint agents.

I disagree. Except in limited showcase raids, Team Tyranny won’t go door to door doing SWAT raids.

They’ll use the Digital Gulag instead.

You got to admit, these evil human debris have discovered all sorts of ways to thwart the Constitution and make subjects out of American citizens. How long will American patriots allow them to continue?

At least that.
It also violates basic legal president, bill of attainder.
This is very scary as usually the Democrats know they have the votes before something goes to the Court.

The net result will be a lot of dead cops. Because people will seek them out and take care of business long before the cops get to their house.

“Only the police and military need guns....”

Look again. The push is to make departments into UNArmed ones, per the BLM lie.

I bet the court is OK with this.

Depends on how much cash Soros puts in John Roberts' bag...

Why else the razor wire and troops surrounding DC?

For the record, the last of the wire and fencing came down last night. (See Richard Citizen Journalist)

The people ALWAYS have a right to guns, regardless of the 2A, as the right to life is inalienable, and society today, access to guns is right to life.

Getting rid of the 2A, though, allows the government to "legally", in their feeble minds, usurp our right to life.

Yup. Good point. Worst of all, it went unchallenged. We accepted the illegal forever lock-downs.

Next up... Global Warming as the justification for more lock-downs...

Makes you wonder if those 6 million Jews were armed and willing to fight to the death might have changed the outcome in Germany. At least they would have died fighting vs in a gas chamber.

Of course the court will rule however the government wants.
