From a correspondent:

"I don't think the government lawyers are *stupid* enough to think
that everyone whose home or office is invaded without a warrant would
not be an innocent citizen or visitor, who would not seek recourse.

IMPO, it's now impeachment time - unless, of course, you think that
if they make a mistake, they will just "disappear" the innocent
civilian, so they can't complain...

There aren't higher crimes and misdemeanors than pre-Patriot Act
warrantless searches and seizures, or the assertion by the executive
that he will defy the expiration of the Patriot Act provisions, which
were not clearly Constitutional in the first place."
