It’s Official, the Fourth Amendment is Dead

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court disemboweled the Fourth Amendment. In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled that citizens cannot challenge government wiretapping laws, in particular the unconstitutional Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and, more recently, the FISA Amendments Act of 2008.

It’s Official, the Fourth Amendment is Dead

According to Justice Samuel Alito, millions of Americans can no longer expect the government to uphold the Constitution and prevent the NSA from conducting dragnet surveillance.

The government established so-called “sovereign immunity” last August when the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco dismissed Al Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Obama following a December 2010 court case ruling the NSA’s warrantless wiretap program was illegal.

FISA is a near perfect scheme for the government. It allows the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to rubber-stamp surveillance requests of supposed terrorists (the Justice Department claims there are over a million terrorists in America). The feds are not obliged to identify a target and they can conduct surveillance a week before making a FISA Court request. Surveillance can continue in the unlikely event that a request is denied and an appeal is set in motion.

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Congress passed the Patriot Act. It allows federal agents to write their own search warrants in violation of the Fourth Amendment and does away with the FISA-issued search warrant requirement, itself blatantly unconstitutional.

“FISA gives the government unchecked authority to snoop on all Americans who communicate with any foreign person, in direct contravention of the Fourth Amendment,” Andrew Napolitano wrote in December. “The right to privacy is a natural human right. Its enshrinement in the Constitution has largely kept America from becoming East Germany.”

Alito’s argument rests on the fact that FISA is a secret court. “Yet respondents have no actual knowledge of the Government’s §1881a targeting practices. Instead, respondents merely speculate and make assumptions about whether their communications with their foreign contacts will be acquired under §1881a,” he wrote.

Alito was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor dissented the ruling.

Tuesday’s ruling pitches the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure into the dustbin of history. It means we are one step closer to becoming East Germany where the Stasi conducted dragnet surveillance with impunity.

Stasi, however, was old school. The modern high-tech surveillance state is infinitely more effective and will be used to monitor the political attitudes of all Americans in dragnet fashion and ferret out for persecution – and elimination – those who pose a threat to the status quo.

    I think it is quite clear that “America” as an ideal of freedom and justice died long ago. As a “hypnotized” progressive for most of my life I failed to see the power of selfishness on a grand scale. I failed to see how the american/isr3ali way would be the most evil force on the planet and the creator and maintainer of imbalance around the world even with/especially with our apparent enemies. My Government doesn’t represent me, or my family! We stand in opposition! My fear is that the intellig3nce machine is a monster that uses information to neutralize all dessent. The pigs know us way better than we know ourselves. Sad but true

    as it stands now they are trying to stop a new 9 11 and have done so .When the higest court that is to interpit the constitution has made such a radical turn to the right as they did with campain donations and the 4th now we are seeing the loss of liberty for a phony promise of security.Ben Franklin said Anyone who gives up liberty for security deserves neither he was and is right.There is a price to pay for freedom it is risk and tolerating other ideas that we don’t agree with to compromise and be a statesman as well as a leader.This never ending state of war has eroded freedom as it has come to our shores with 911 and the threat of more attacks ,fear has become the policy of our country scare the hell out of the people and we can do anything and call it making you safe and get away with it.Money has corrupted the government and our corporations and everyone wants to be rich at any cost .What happened to just being middel class it was all you needed and all most wanted for most of my life.If we don’t take a more active role in how our country works we are done as America and will be some other thing no one will like very much.

    They already tap my phone line and what they hear is a real American standing up for the US Constitution. A man who reveals the disgusting manner the Elite are taking control of our rights.
    Social Security, something I paid for years into which was an “entitlement” is now called a benefit. My retirement which I paid into is now called a “benefit”. My disability compensation for being damaged in war listed by the VA is at 140% and I will lose that as well. My body is shot my ability to earn income is gone because I gave my all and then some and I will be without a means to survive. Just as thousands of other disabled Vets will. We gave our bodies so the Elite could gain control of oil rich lands in Iraq now our usefulness had ended and we will be left to die. Nice work Obama and the 535 members of Congress.Way to take care of those who made you wealthy!
    When the government fails and my pension disappears, it will be a breach of contract against all Veterans, that is why we are labeled as terrorists. Because we earned what they will deny.

    The 13 Elite families hold 90% of the wealth and they want more. How much is too much and why is my income being re-distributed and theirs is not?

    Authority is not a replacement for Morality. Uncontrolled growth of government since 1963 has led to what we are witnessing today.

    There is not a lack of wealth, there are hoarders in high places.
