Promises, promises…

So now in Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi it is legally OK to enforce the Fourth Amendment only when convenient. Subjectively. Of course, one should not miss that fact that the legal case (US v. Kelly Gould) involved one Kelly Gould who had threatened to kill - that’s right - judges. And police officers. Well, see, that’s different.
United States v. Kelly Gould actually reads Your Constitutional Rights v. Our Safety to the 5th Circuit bench. It’s one thing to put on a brave face to preserve your own freedom, quite another to tear down the Constitution and cower behind your flimsy slippery slope rulings to preserve your own perceived safety. But New Orleans Police Department spokesman Capt. Marlon Defillo claims solemnly that the new search power, which is effective immediately, will be used judiciously. We promise.
So the Bill of Rights. Eh… We can work around it.
