Supreme Court Trashes Constitution

The government is now free to break its own laws and you get to suffer for it. No this is not some lame conspiracy theory, this is now Supreme Court fact.

It now seems that the government can arrest you, and search you and your possessions even if that arrest was illegal. Let me tell you how bad this is and will be.

I will be very simplistic here so don't get yourself all in a twist because of what I use for an example. Read the greater moral of this tale.

Lets say you are jay-walking. Yes I said jay-walking. Many of you may not know what jay-walking is. It is when you cross the street at other than a crosswalk or corner. All major cities have jay-walking laws on the books although very few people are ever issued a ticket for doing such a thing.

This kind of law was instituted to help protect pedestrians and car drivers when the auto was first coming into its own. Jay-walking is a ticket and a fine. Nothing more than that.

Now lets say a police officer decides he is going to arrest you. Jay-walking is not an arrestable offense but the officer puts you in handcuffs. Now that arrest really is not legal in his state because it is a ticket offense not an arrest offense.

This cop now has the authority to fully search you and your belongings. If you jay-walk from your car, he can now search your car. What is worse is that any evidence that he gathers during this illegal arrest can be used against you in a court of law and any conviction that comes from it will stand.

Now you might be saying this is against the fourth Amendment to the Constitution and you would be right. In fact some of our Supreme Court Justices seemed to think this may be the case but they voted to allow such a thing to take place.

This full story came from Yahoo! News. It is very disturbing indeed. It now puts us on the path to an official police state. I am sure this is something that will get very little play in the media but every citizen should take note of this story.

You and your family are now in danger of being arrested for offenses that are not arrestable simply because now the police have free reign over you to do what they want. They can conduct and illegal arrest and still convict you on evidence that is illegally gathered.

This is a direct attack on your freedom and liberty. And yes, sad to say, the Bush Administration was fully behind in defending the state on their illegal arrest and search and conviction. What is next allowing illegally gathered evidence in a lawful arrest because the police were only after the truth?

Even though the Supreme Court has ruled on this issue, this cannot stand. It looks like we may have to enact laws that prevent the state from doing what the Constitution says it can't do in the first place. How sad. And our liberty and freedom suffers for it.

Cradle of our Nations Freedom Attacks Constitutional Rights

Boston is a crazy little town. It is a city of about 500,000 people give or take a few thousand. Also known as Bean Town and the home of the American Revolution. It is a city built upon civic duty and conservative principles.

It is so amazing to look at Boston today and think that it once was a cradle of our nations battle for freedom and liberty. You look at Boston now and you see a city that is run by Democrat hacks and thieves and thugs.

These people do not believe in the freedom of the people. The mayor, Tom Menino, is a Liberal Democrat hack who has been in office since the early 90's. What makes that amazing is this guy cannot talk. In fact he is referred to as Mumbles Menino.

But that is not what this post is about. I ran across another blog that mentioned and talked about one of Mayor Menino's bright ideas. It smacks right in the face of liberty and the Constitution. But that does not bother Liberal Democrats.

But thankfully the people of this great city are beginning to wake up a little and see what is really going on. The city has this project the call Safe Home. In a nutshell, the Boston City Police Department would go from home to home in what they called “high risk” neighborhoods and ask the residents if they could enter the home to search for guns being held by those under the age of 17.

At first glance you might think that this was a great idea. Get illegal guns off the street. But for those of us who know our rights as protected by the Constitution, we know this is a huge violation of the document. Not to mention it opens up a plethora of problems and issues for the owner or occupant of the home.

What the Police are hoping you will do is to voluntarily give up your rights. They think they can come into your home under the guise of “helping you and the neighborhood. This is far from the truth. Grizzly Groudswell put it very succinctly when he described what could happen once the police are in your home even if you invite them in voluntarily.

You must understand whenever the government, no matter what party, says they are doing something for your safety and it involves a direct violation or “voluntary” giving up of your rights, you will not get safety. You will get thugs and bullies with government badges in your home and you will have a damn hard time of getting them out.

Once you let the government in your home, they can do a number of things and you will be powerless to stop them. The Constitution gives you specific protection from government intrusion into your home. So why then would you invite the government in? They cannot protect you and your family. It is not the governments job to protect you and your family.

You cannot abdicate the raising of your children to the government either. Once you do so, you will never be free of the government. This is not liberty. It is not life. It is Tierney.
