This is part of the Constitution

It use to mean something

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

thats it....

1. it is very clear language that leaves no room for interpretation

so congress just ignored it, along with the WH. :grr:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

2. To kpete: Not Listening

Love, Congress


"Brazen" would be the word I'm looking for.

[tavalon]

5. There ain't no love coming from that Congress

Contempt, not love.

[natrat]

3. my god it's like trying to reason with the mafia

there is no democratic party, there should be no respect for it here

[Usrename]

4. Yeah, and what about this other part over here? Immunity?

Amendment VII

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

6. I like it! Makes a great telegram. Succinct. Direct. They know exactly how you feel! nt

7. It says "unreasonable"

It is up to THEM to decide what reasonable is. The opinion of the people no longer even comes into play. Everyone voting knows for fact that it is unconstitutional. But they say you only have to worry if you are doing something wrong. The same people who decide what is to be reasonable also decide the definition of wrong. More concentration of power at the top is the only goal these sellouts have.

8. One of my Senators voted against immunity

One of them voted for. Guess who I will work to get out of office throughout the summer...

For those of you in Blue Dog states, we really, really, need to eliminate these Repub-lite Dems. I was most depressed to see Jim Webb voting for telecom immunity. I thought he was going to swing Progressive. I wasn't surprised by Clinton's non-vote, but dismayed nonetheless.

9. On our local news in Oklahoma City, they were bashing Congress, too...

But it was because they felt Congress was wasting too much time on Roger Clemens.

:banghead:

10. Oh you guys are soooooo yesterday

This is Bush* Amerika we now live in. Anything (and I mean anything) goes....

11. Congress: cowards, accomplices and collaborators.

It is PAINFULLY obvious Congress has more important priorities than upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States.

Wake up America!:kick:
