Re: I used to see it that way...
said by Kevin Dupuy  :th government should be able to take away any rights, especially those written into the Bill of Rights! The right under discussion is privacy which doesn't exist in the Constitution. It wasn't recognized until 1964 as part of a case involving a woman's right to access birth control, and it was based upon a relatively new concept of imposing the Bill of Rights against state infringement which began around 1924.
The protection against search and seizure only says "unreasonable" searches and seizures. Obviously some are reasonable.
I'm not arguing against privacy or better protections against searches. Just that it's not as simple as some people wish it were.
