Supreme Courts Affirm The Police State
Written by Ed on May 26, 2011 – 11:00 pm -May 23, 2011 by Bob Livingston
Our descent into a police state is complete, as evidenced by rulings by the Indiana and U.S. Supreme Courts which, last week, effectively and finally abolished the 4th Amendment.
No longer are American citizens “secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,” thanks to the two rulings affirming police authority to bash down your door and enter your home without a warrant. Resisting such an incursion is now a crime. If it weren’t obvious before that we live in a fascist system under guise of Democracy, surely, it must be now.

well welcome to the patriot act. I told everyone that this would happen. but I was told I was a chicken little. SCOTUS should have been on the side of freedom. but guess not. this started after 9.11 and everyone was willing to give up their freedom in the chance that George would protect them. well it sucks to be us. and I dont think that any president will want to get rid of those powers.

Just like the democrats know what’s better for us than we do ourselves, I’m sure the cops in Indiana know what’s better for their people than the constitution and a judge.
Still everything is George Bush’s fault? That one is getting a bit old in the tooth. I can see it when my great-grandchildren are becoming of age… “Back in the early part of the last century, there was a President named George Bush. Everything that has ever happened bad in the world since was his fault”.
I guess if you are a liberal or democrat, it is better to have a scapegoat than a solution.

Well, the Bush cause just got rescinded in the dramatice last minute extension of these very provisions you abhor, cat; the Senate and the House, with a “robo-signing by Obama who was too busy vacatinoing in France to come back] passed the extension of these provisions that should have lapsed without action; who’s fault now?? It seems that all those things that the Dems hated when Bush thought of them are “just what we need” to help Obama get his stuff through [and everyone under control]
Off the Bush/Patriot Act bandwagon yet?? Or will it still be HIS fault [and we all know who HE is]

no he will be the one who started the ball rolling. and I will doubt that any president will ever stop or give up the power that was given to Bush. dont like your freedom being suppressed. well start voting anyone that supports the patriot act out of office. doesnt matter who started it. it just needs to stop, and it wont. the conservatives on the SCOTUS voted for the police state. one of the few liberals was against it. so I guess the conservatives are for the police state and the liberals are for freedom of the people.

One liberal voted against it and now the entire group of liberals is for freedom of the people? I thought it was what the majority thought that counted. And the majority of liberals on the SCOTUS voted for the police state. I’m sure you can come up with at least one good liberal thought and vote for every 100 bad liberal thoughts or votes. I don’t think I would classify that as liberals saving the world quite yet.

yes that may be so, but it is still the conservatives that have given the power away and turned this country into police state. actually I thought it was a police state after the patriot act was first shoved down our throat. and I was being called a nervous nelly. so you can either accept it. or you can vote the knuckle heads out of office who gave us this garbage.

Cat I thought you did vote out the knuckleheads with “Change you can Believe in”
Guess it is more accurate to look for “Believe it if you see Change?”
yeah the Patriot act did give a tool to allow these abuses – but WHO is doing the abuse.
I am more focused on who is actually taking away liberties and freedom…not that there are loopholes from a 10 year old law… so somehow the current crop of libtards have no responsibiltiy to do the right thing.

If we vote Bush out at the next election, how many years do we still get to blame him for every problem ever created?

how long until some of the justices retire? then you can get your answer.

So three appointed justices out of nine are running the entire country? Of course they are, THEY WERE APPOINTED BY GEORGE W. BUSH!!!
It’s ALWAYS Bush’s fault.
We ALL know that obama is just a puppet and someone else is pulling the strings. Well, I think I’ve finally figured it out. George W. Bush is pulling the strings. I knew that if he could get voted in with less votes than his opponents, that he could also figure a way around the pesky 2-term deal.
I bet you are really hoping someone can get G.W. out of office next term aren’t you cat? Better not vote for obama. We now know he is just G.W.’s puppet.
