Check out this lefty, hair-on-fire rant. The author has a pre-9/11 mindset & wants terrorists to win

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.

1. Long hair radicals :shakeshead:

lol

[Fumesucker]

2. Disgraceful black and white thinking in a fifty shades of grey world

[magellan]

3. Well, there's the problem.

It doesn't say anything about phone calls or emails.

[Dragonfli]

4. Another Ron/Rand Paul supporter sexually attracted to the Species Rattus norvegicus!!

That traitor should be hung for treason against the crown!

[b.durruti]

5. Who wrote that, some goddamn hippie?? -nt-

[xtraxritical]

22. I think it was a goddamned Republican.

[TheKentuckian]

26. or...or...or a LIBERTARIAN!!!

[Phlem]

28. or...or...both!

and my grandma!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. The person who leaked that amendment should be on trial!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

9. Uh oh. Maybe I should go into hiding.

I hope I have time to unstack the boxes in my garage and be friendly with the neighbors before fleeing.

7. Isn't that from some old paper,

or something?
I think the constitution has to be looked at in terms of today, not the old musket carrying days when things like that were written.
After all, without any rights we will feel much safer. There could be a terrorist right in your house, and you might not even know it.
You know too, that with a Democrat in the White House, you can feel totally safe giving up all your civil rights or constitutional rights or whatever it is that these nuts think everyone should be able to do or have.
Because we all know nothing bad could ever happen under a Democrat, that would only happen if Romney were elected.
And he wasn't. And I'm sure glad of that.

8. K & R !!!

[LondonReign2]

10. I understand the author wasn't sufficiently friendly with his neighbors

[Fumesucker]

11. Not to mention that he lived well

Shameful.

[BlueCheese]

18. I'll bet he never had trouble paying for powder for his wig.

[LondonReign2]

24. Did he ever finish high school?

[Phlem]

29. I understand he lives

under a bridge.

12. The constitution has little to say about telecommunications, the internet, Google and Facebook.

There isn't even an explicit right to privacy enumerated in the Bill of Rights. It has been "read into" a combination of the other Ammendments, but that is probably not something that Scalia and Thomas are happy with.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

13. Good point. Let's get rid of it. Zuckerburg can write something up for us with a more modern feel

[FarCenter]

16. As he writes it up, we can all "like" or "dislike" each sentence.

Bear in mind that modern constitutions tend to be at least ten times longer than the US constitution.

Even despotic states sometimes have very nice, high-minded sounding constitutions.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

17. See? I think we can do something with this. Lots of possibilities

I think those who purchase Facebook Consti-points should obviously get more say in voting for each line, but those details can all be worked out.

[yodermon]

14. too bad they snuck in that "unreasonable" weasel-word. Opens the door for all kinds of shenanigans.

oh well.

[geckosfeet]

27. Maybe he should have recycled the "shall not be infringed" clause.

That one is pretty clear.

[Savannahmann]

15. Kicked big time

And how.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

19. Like Bush said

"It's just a god damned piece of paper"

[Fuddnik]

20. The apologists here have a pre-1776 mindset.

[KauaiK]

21. The Supreme Court already ruled

that the Patriot Act and all of unreasonable searches and seizures are constitutional.

[libodem]

30. But just try to take a picture at a factory farm

And you've stolen something. Evidence.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

33. So? They said the same thing about Citizens United.

[MNBrewer]

23. What civil liberties absolutist, 2-dimensional thinker wrote THAT tripe???

[liberal_at_heart]

25. K&R, K&R, K&R!

If I could rec this a thousand times I would.

[ReRe]

31. K&R

But if someone checked out DU for the first time, I don't know if they would be able to keep up. I swear, in some sections of this thread, it sounds like an insane asylum. That's an institution that they used to take deranged persons to, in order that they were cared for and protected from the elements and from violent criminals on the streets. Just kidding That was a riot!

[MannyGoldstein]

32. Meh. Check the source.

Cornell.

Very cold in Ithaca, their brains freeze. Mascot is a bear, the icon of Soviet Russia.

[awoke_in_2003]

34. Downright commie. nt

[Egalitarian Thug]

35. Cornell Law is a right-wing rag and should be BANNED!

I tell ya, it's a god-damned conspiracy! I've found that same trash posted all over the intertubes!









































Still more

36. Sheer MoonBattery!

"...shall not be violated"... O, My Goodness me! SHALL NOT. We're sounding pretty sure of ourselves, aren't we MoonBat? - or is it Queen MoonBat? Yes, I think it must be. I love this bit, too, where it goes on to list a bunch of completely uber-Moonbat conditions -I mean, celestial fucking hoops of flaming blue Moonbat purity- that the police will have to leap through every time they want to kick in a door, toss some shitbag's place and bust him... here we go:

" ...particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Ok Moonbat, your Highness, I got your particular fucking description right here: 1) America, 2) Everybody, and 3) Anything. OK? THat clear enough for you, Princess???

[Dragonfli]

37. I see you understand the new improved "post terra" 4th Amendment

Double plus good! Homelander!

[KennedyBrothers]

38. He probabaly wrote this...

on hemp parchment, too.

[Laelth]

39. Well played. k&r n/t

-Laelth

[indepat]

40. Big brother will not tolerate such heresy as this in this new American century (PNAC): to wit,

the world must be made ripe for the right-wing PNAC vision to be fully implemented.

[GeorgeGist]

41. THEY HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOMS.

Give up our freedoms.

Problem solved.
