Get yourself a Black’s Law Dictionary, Both words are defined and include a reference to a case having precedence.

Guess you'd rather have the rail blow up....

Me personally? When did I ever state that? I was just passing along information the OP should have posted even if it was excerpted.

DC is in the circuit and I would have to believe that any metrorail plans would include links to the projected high speed rail.

Does this legislation mention that these entities can only do it for one rail and not the other?

hey...that actually is a good idea. I apologize. I should have done that first before I stuck my other foot in my mouth - which I seem to do a lot lately.
The 4th doesn’t exclude searches... only unreasonable searches.

A lot of cases on reasonableness - one on point is Warden v. Hayden where SCOTUS (citing McDonald v. United States) ruled
“The exigencies of the situation,” in which the officers were in pursuit of a suspected armed felon in the house which he had entered only minutes before they arrived, permitted their warrantless entry and search. McDonald v. United States, 335 U.S. 451, 456 . Pp. 298-300.

I’ll sit down and shut up now.

Thanx

False alarm.

Note this line in the text:

30. In carrying out its purposes, the Commission, through its Board or designated employees or agents, shall, consistent with federal law:

All that pesky stuff like getting warrants and subpoenas is part of what's consistent w/federal law.

“...basic tenants of...”

Sorry, but a “tenant” is a person who occupies a place; a “tenet” is a basic principle.

Sloppy English indicates sloppy logic; good way to lose.

It’s simply astounding how criminal and treasonous this bill is to the Bill of Rights and U.S. Constitution.

Hopefully, the lawsuits will start.

Just wait until they say if it’s legal to do on rails, then why not highways and roads that receive federal funds?
