Remember me? I used to be an amendment to the US Constitution

Lead Pipe Cruelty

That’s right… it’s your old buddy #4… aw, c’mon… help an old friend out? Hey… you can’t just walk away like that… I used to BE somebody, you ungrateful schmendrick! Remember Miranda? Remember no-knock rules? Remember when you usedta be able to drive from San Diego to Puerta Vallarta without getting your rectum probed? You got a lot to thank me for! I used to BE somebody, dammit! Don’t you walk…

Hey… come back.

Please?

[wik] In response to Buckethead’s reasonable observation that this decision isn’t too much out of left field, I had actually meant to tie this post to this one that weakened search-and-seizure protections in Louisiana. Two isolated decisions don’t make a convincing case that the IV Amendment is in imminent danger, but this is a weblog, I’m a little hysterical, so I’m calling it like I sees it.
