Comments range from the angry “we used to live in a free country” variety to the more prudent “the Constitution isn’t a suicide pact.” In other words, either conservatives cannot in good conscience stand by while the “jack-booted thugs” of government violate precious constitutional rights guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment, or they need to be mature enough to recognize that even the Constitution allows times when reasonable law enforcement measures must be tolerated for the greater good.
You can agree with one or the other and still be a conservative. You can agree partially with one or the other and still be a conservative.
Watch the video. Have your say. You’ll find some who agree with you, and many more who don’t.
