Supreme Courts Affirm The Police State<\/strong><\/p>\n

May 23, 2011 by Bob Livingston<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Our descent into a police state is complete, as evidenced by rulings by the Indiana and U.S. Supreme Courts which, last week, effectively and finally abolished the 4th Amendment.<\/p>\n

No longer are American citizens \u201csecure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,\u201d thanks to the two rulings affirming police authority to bash down your door and enter your home without a warrant. Resisting such an incursion is now a crime. If it weren\u2019t obvious before that we live in a fascist system under guise of Democracy, surely, it must be now.<\/p>\n

In Indiana, the Supreme Court ruled 3-2 \u201cthat there is no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers.\u201d The U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s 8-1 ruling affirmed that officers can kick down a door if they smell marijuana or hear noises indicative of the destruction of evidence. (Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented, writing, \u201cPolice officers may now knock, listen, then break the door down, never mind that they had ample time to obtain a warrant.\u201d) The fact that the door they kicked in was not the door their suspect had entered was irrelevant to the court.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Of course, we told you a couple of weeks ago about the case of Maryanne Godboldo, who had a Detroit Police SWAT team crash into her home and remove her daughter because Godboldo made the perfectly reasonable and rational choice to determine what medication her daughter should take.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019ve previously told you about the assault on the 4th Amendment by the Department of Homeland Security through the porn show\/gropefest at the airports and, just as egregious, the home peepshow enabling the Z Backscatter Van\u2122 that is now rolling on American streets.<\/p>\n

But the court rulings are among the first to affirm the police state. And they open us up to a system where the police have carte blanche to do as they please.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Indiana Supreme Court<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Think this is an overreaction? Tell it to the citizens of Newton County, Ind., whose sheriff, Don Hartman Sr., told the Mike Church radio show on Thursday that random house-to-house searches are now possible because of the Indiana Supreme Court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n

\u201c(H)e emphatically indicated that he would use random house to house (sic) checks, adding he felt people will welcome random searches if it means capturing a criminal,\u201d according to a posting on Church\u2019s website. By Thursday afternoon there was a Facebook page calling for Hartman\u2019s removal from office.<\/p>\n

The Founders are surely weeping for an America they no longer recognize.<\/p>\n

Our country became great and prosperous because its citizens were allowed to own property. The Founders subscribed to the theory of John Locke that \u201cif (a person) be absolute lord of his own person and possessions, equal to the greatest, and subject to no body, why will he part with his freedom? Why will he give up this empire, and subject himself to the dominion and control of any other power?\u201d<\/p>\n

The elites understand this as well. That is why there is an assault on property rights, like in the ruling in Kelo v. The City of New London<\/em>. It\u2019s why a system based on property taxes is so egregious, because the State forces you to pay for the right to own your own property and can take it away at the force of a gun if, through some financial hardship or error, you don\u2019t pay the tax in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The fascist elites in government are winning. We have become the despotism of an oligarchy, which Thomas Jefferson<\/strong> (picture right) warned about when he wrote: \u201cIt is a very dangerous doctrine to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all Constitutional questions. It is one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.\u201d
\nWe have told you before of the folly of expecting any of the ruling class to do anything or make any laws or rulings that would deny them more power. The President, members of Congress, the bureaucrats who occupy the offices of government, the justices, judges, lawyers, accountants and officers of the court system are employees of and for government. Their desire is to accumulate more power for government and more power and prestige for themselves. It is a desire that knows no party affiliation.<\/p>\n

\"\"
President John Adams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

John Adams<\/strong> (picture left) wrote: \u201c\u2026 because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.\u201d<\/p>\n
