On warrant less searches....
...I really think this will be the breaking point-this is NOTHING like warrant less wiretapping-and I'll tell you why-wiretapping is by it's very nature clandestine...search warrants NEVER are.What are apparently being performed are in the Watergate Parlance, BLACK BAG JOBS....
Certainly it would be bad enough if only a police agency showed up at your house to search and when asked told you "Warrants? We don't need no stinkin' warrants...",but this is worse,almost infinitely so.Skulking unnamed government agents surreptitiously bypassing your homes locks and security systems to rifle through your closets and underwear drawers with grubby hands-is this TRULY what congress intended with their "resolution of force"??? I don't think so-I think this abuse will end this regime.

2. Wish I had your optimism
"If you aren't guilty of anything you've nothing to worry about." Unless this happens to someone really prominent the sheeple will graze on as before.

3. There in A straw that will break a camel's back.....
and a trigger point for every rage....and while the winner can be a little tiny straw, I think the "black bag" component of this outrage may just be too much...I can dream,can't I???
