For Your Own Good
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Canigilia v. Strom is an extreme case, but if traditional Fourth Amendment precedent holds, Red Flag laws will also be held unconstitutional.

Forty years ago, the Second Amendment was on the brink of oblivion. A grassroots movement and a whole bunch of good lawyering and litigating fixed that, hopefully for good.
Hopefully we can do the same thing for the Fourth.
And if we’re going to save this Republic, the Tenth.

While the specifics of Canigula may be extreme the underlying argument, “community caretaking functions,” is the trojan horse that the Red Flag proponents have been using in one form or another to justify what should be illicit searches and seizures. The court was right to begin the process of carving up the “community caretaking functions,” arguments but this is just the beginning of the fight not its resolution. Particularly you have to watch Roberts and Kavenaugh for softness on this issue.

And in related news today a unanimous Court spanked the Ninth Circuit in US v Palomar-Santiago again.

If we want to save the union we are going to have to find some way to prevent the dhimmis from passing HR1, otherwise known as the bill to end republicans winning elections. Oops, I said “to end having fair elections” wrong.

Kinlaw, I think the word you’re looking for is “fortify.”

HR 1 would be horrendous in the short term, but I would think that, just as the carnage in the streets created shall issue concealed carry and gave rise to a huge resurgence in conservatism in the 1960s and 1970s, that Democrat rule today, doing much the same thing that Kennedy and Johnson inflicted on the nation, would end up with the same result.
And hopefully minorities remember who unleashed this monster on their cities–liberals.
