Shaving the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizure paper thin. That's a problem with US jurisprudence. You may technically have a right, but the interpretation of the words are so odd, you practically don't have that right.

- bigbadfeline 10mo ago> The Bill of Rights was literally an afterthought. If we frame it as "an afterthought", it was the better thought and the most important one. The Bill of Rights was conceived as, and is, a fundamental part of the Constitution. Not to mention that it practically defines what America is and how it differs from the rest of the world, without it the US can only be a feudal state. There's no exaggeration in this, weakening the BoR is a rather transparent attempt to bring back feudalism cloaked in some sort of economic libertarianism.
