They should be upset. A Socialist Offensive against the Constitution is in full swing. Oath breakers, No Warrants, No due Process. That so called Total Transformation of America we've been hearing about? Has this got your attention yet?!!! |

Due process must be followed BEFORE anyone's rights or property can be denied, NOT as an afterthought.
Per the 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments, a person cannot be denied rights or property unless due process is followed establishing cause for such denial, pursuant to an adversarial hearing wherein the respondent can face his accusers, cross-examine witnesses, and present witnesses and exculpatory evidence in his behalf.
This must occur before any warrant may issue or seizure takes place, the sole exceptions being a preexisting record of a crime of violence, a prior adjudication of mental defect with a propensity toward violence resulting in involuntary commitment, or probable cause that a crime has been committed. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
