> The [Fourth] amendment is meant to protect Americans from unreasonable searches or seizures of their property by the government.
Much more than that! It reads:
> 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.
Seizure includes, for the sake of example, physical violence and, more specifically, shooting people in the head.

- quadragenarian 9mo agoThe irony I see here is that she is relatively young. By making these declarations, she and others in this administration are making an implicit bet that there won't be another sensible e.g. law-abiding administration in the future that won't put them in jail. Politics is a fickle world -- being brazen by breaking laws is a risky business. You might be in charge now, but are you sure your people will always be in charge?
