An American Thought on an American situation

From poster "Dave Kreuger" at The Agitator, (an American libertarian blog belonging to Radley Balko, who has done some first-rate work on militarization and civil liberties issues), a comment on recent United States Supreme Court jurisprudence on raids, searches and seizures:

The guaranty that people should “be secure in their person, houses, and papers” has been thrown out by the [U.S.] Supreme Court as conflicting with the government’s mission of protecting people’s security. That’s not to say they’ve thrown out the baby with the bathwater. It’s saying they threw out the baby and didn’t even touch the bathwater.
