    • The states have decided that the US constitution does not rule the entire nation. Especaly the bill of rights. Apparently whoever controls the statehouse can and will try to override the rights of the indivigual for the right of the state and who is willing to pay the state officials the most. 9/11 was the most devestating blow to civil liberty delivered to our country and it occured because of foreign aggresion on our shores. It is a case where a powerful famly that might have influence in our country had special consideration because of the money they controled. We should strip all accounts found of the Bin Laden family and put it in our treasury and bar them from our country.

    • Of course the Indiana state supreme court says that police and security people that are qualified as special deputies can enter, seize property and person without a warrent. We have entered as time where the first amendment and most of the other admendments mean nothing for a more secure U.S.A. We have made it more secure for the elite of our nation and not the majority of our country. The right of the cattle barrons comes to mind, someone with a security force that has become special deputies can come on your property say that you have something of theirs haul you out to the nearest heavy branch and hang you for saying no. This was reported in USA today.

    • One small step, but that whole National Security Letters (NSL) provision of the Patriot Act definitely trumps any of this. Too bad our chicken little Congress felt too scared to let that shit sunset.

      That's a great hope, but if it gets that far, is it not then in the hands of the Supreme Court??? If that's the case, I see the whole attempt as Null and Void....

      Time will tell. I don't know how the U.S.Supreme court would vote in any
      majority decision, but it would settle the issue. I trust them more than I trust
      the people who'd vote overwhelmingly aye on the Patriot Act without reading
      it first as Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 proved. It might
      have been different if they'd corrected their mistakes, but they seem so
      eager to repeat them instead of learning from them. At least the members
      of the Supreme Court would vote after having read & considered whatever
      merits a lower court's decision might have before they'd consider changing it.
