and the ass wiping continues

I miss the good old days when there wa a Bill of Rights that protected our rights from possible corruption of overzealous governments. Heck, I miss the days when the purpose of the Constitution was to re-iterate rights that common sense would consider natural rights like the right to speak ones mind and to vote and stuff...not take them away like getting married and stuff. In any case, I don't want to open a bigger can of worms than is necessary...and no bigger can is necessary on this one:

Exit stage right...the Fourth Amendment...

It's a groundbreaking court decision that legal experts say will affect everyone: Police officers in Louisiana no longer need a search or arrest warrant to conduct a brief search of your home or business.

Leaders in law enforcement say it will provide safety to officers, but others argue it's a privilege that could be abused.

The decision was made by the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Two dissenting judges called it the "road to Hell."

Not that this won't get overturned (I hope) in higher-up courts, but just the thought that there are judges out there that would agree to these...like the few that agree to the unconstitutional treatment of "foriegn combatents" or whatever we're calling them...makes me want to die. This has been a no-brainer throughout the first 225 years of this nation's Constitutional history, but now it's all fizzling. We are in the first days of the end my friends.
