PeteBoom BS: Domestic Spying in the U.S. (295* d) RE: BS: Domestic Spying in the U.S. 20 Dec 05


"...do solemnly swear... to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States..."

"Amendment IV. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable seaches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describling the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

"Amendment IX. The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X. THe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

Seems some folks want "original meaning" and "strict construction" only when it suits their purposes.
