"Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for the majority, indicated that the Fourth Amendment protects not against violations of privacy or invasiveness, but against violation of property rights."

"Since one can't have property rights for illicit drugs, a search can't violate the Fourth Amendment."






Catch 22.

Since our government has decreed that they can declare most anything "illicit", -- one obviously has virtually no property rights.

"A search for illicit property can't violate the Fourth Amendment" is sheer idiocy: -- illogical thinking enshrined in legalistic sounding BS.

It's nearly time.

Perhaps the greatest perversion of Supreme Court logic is in the Earls case, in which Thomas declares that high school students must be treated as a class of people, not as individuals.
