No, applying it to the government means that the government is not allowed to violate the constraints. If the stipulation is that no warrant shall issue but upon oath/affirmation of probable cause
that doesn't mean that the government can ignore the requirement because the person they're investigating isn't a citizen. — What you're asserting is that the rules that bind government don't apply when the person the government harms by violating those rules isn't a citizen
If the rules don't apply for Person-X, what makes you think that those exceptions won't be expanded to [someday] include you?
They've already done it to ex-felons, those who have already served their sentence WRT firearms via ex post facto law (the prohibited persons
qualifier that this falls under applied to people serving their sentence or who had already served it).
This was WRITTEN FOR A SPECIFIC AUDIENCE - NOT THE ENTIRE FRIGGIN PLANET.
I agree it was written for/to a speciffic audience, but the subject thereof is our government, independent of geographic location; if our government isn't bound by it, what does it matter?
no, the subject is us you - YOU ARE THE DENSEST FREEPER OF ALL - the government is only constrained from what they can do to US - and US is citizens.
Period.
