  1. The only thing I knew about the 4th amendment I learned from CSI. It always frustrated me that people got off because of loopholes in the 4th amendment. It might be the liberals favorite part of the bill of rights.

  3. The problem is not the 4th amendment, it is the interpretation of same by the Supremes, in Miranda and subsequent decisions.

  4. This one is really timely due to Federal violations such as the USA Patriot Act, RFID, TSA regulations, Internet Regulation, FISA, etc. States should be utilizing nullification under the 10th Amendment to invalidate these unconstitutional provisions.
