The fourth amendment has been rendered null and void. Now it appears Orrin Hatch has the first in his sights with the anti meth bill (if you haven't heard about this one you should check it out). Prohibition was tried before it failed then and its failing now. The only solution is to end this war before we lose all our hard-earned freedoms.
