The short answer is that the Fourth Amendment isn't actually all that clear, and that it's up to judges, lawyers, politicians, and citizens to figure out how it applies in different situations.
- wallace_f 9y agoWhich part do you find to be unclear? It looks pretty clear to me. What if I asked about Guantanamo, the NSA, or wars without approval of congress? Are all of these failures of our Gov to observe our constitution issues of some kind of lack in clarity?
- InitialLastName 9y ago> Which part do you find to be unclear? Fourth Amendment: > The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. The word "unreasonable" in "unreasonable searches and seizures" introduces a full hectare of gray area.
