The erosion of privacy rights under the Fourth Amendment, written to protect us against unreasonable search and seizure, began in earnest under President George W. Bush.

The Constitution defends all of us against unreasonable search and seizure. What constitutes reasonableness depends upon threat.

It must always be remembered that what the Constitution forbids is not all searches and seizures, but unreasonable searches and seizures.

It is a measure of the framers' fear that a passing majority might find it expedient to compromise 4th Amendment values that these values were embodied in the Constitution itself.

Violating the 4th Amendment guarantees against illegal searches and seizures is not the way to solve crime problems.

The fourth amendment specifically was designed to prohibit general warrants. How could collecting every piece of phone data be perceived as anything but a general warrant?

The 4th Amendment and the personal rights it secures have a long history. At the very core stands the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.

The Supreme Court must strike down the government's illegal spying program as a violation of our Fourth Amendment right to privacy.

No one in their right mind can say to me with a straight face that the Patriot Act has not aggregated the Fourth Amendment.

The government can still conduct clandestine searches of innocent people's private information such as library, medical, and financial records. This is wrong and should have been addressed in a true compromise.
