O, and please address as many counter points as possible....
Tell me where it's ok for the Courts and government executives to pass laws infringing the 1st, and 4th? The whole argument here is that both sides are infringing our rights, and continue to do so, but myopic people on this forum continue to spend most of the time on just one side of the argument, as if one side is much more guilty than the other.
Want an argument, a field for our sport? How about this one:
Who is responsible for the passage of the Patriot Act? That act eviscerated the 4th. (Do we need to debate this point?)
Let me link to you the vote totals:

The Senate:
The one Nay: Feingold, Russell
The House:

And of course the President signed it into a law, he's a Republican.
Still, a bipartisan effort.
