Stomp on the Constitution....Yet Again

It seems today that more and more politicians and judges feel that the Constitution is only important in a few instances at best and a doormat the rest of the time. I will go on the record stating that it can not be this way. The Constitution is the most important Governmental Paperwork ever written, it gives us "the commoners" (as the elitist politicians believe us to be) rights to keep the government from getting out of hand. I have said it many times, the Constitution is there to protect the people from the government, NOT to protect the government from the people.

The reason i say it is this. There is a case that went to the Supreme Court. It all happened in Virginia, where a man named David Lee Moore was pulled over for a suspended license, which in Virginia is a minor crime that results in a ticket for court and being released on your way. Well the police arrested the man and searched his vehicle were drugs were found. He was subsequently convicted to 3 1/2 years in prison.

He took it to court, the Virginia state Supreme Court where it was ruled that the arrest was invalid, therefore the search and conviction for drugs were to be thrown out, because the initial arrest was illegal therefore the drug charge was in turn illegal. Not to be outdone, the gestapo took it to the US Supreme Court.

Well have no fear, the Supreme Court didn't let us down. They took their cue and stomped on the Constitution just like a Samoan man in golf shoes. They ruled that the search was legal and constitutional. Now i have a problem seeing how it can be. If the steps that the police took were in fact illegal then any resulting findings and subsequent charges and convictions are also illegal.

When will the raping of our Constitution quit? And when will those sworn to uphold the constitution be Forced to Uphold it?

Viva Liberty!
