Stuff I Wroted - The Fourth Amendment

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.

I will happily support a candidate who agrees with that statement. I will not support a candidate who doesn't. This is not some specific pet interest or issue, not some spiteful statement by an angry civil libertarian with too much time on my hands. This is my goddamn right, my inalienable right. And it was just alienated by Barack Obama.

Holy fuck, have the last seven years changed our country so much that both mainstream candidates don't believe we have a right to be free from unwarranted search and seizure? Of course, maybe I'm being irrational, maybe it's more complicated than that. Maybe leniency and loopholes from the force of law should be made official by Congress for well-connected corporate criminals.
