    Roe V Wade was a big one but let’s not pretend SCOTUS was doing us any favors before.

    • Qualified Immunity
    • Free Speech Zones
    • Your employer controls your religious rights
    • No effective 4th amendment rights
    • No right to jury in lower trials that still involve jail time
    • Court appointed lawyers are a sham
    • Miranda rights don’t exist anymore
    • The police can move into your house
    • Double trials have become common
    • Excessive bail and fines are part of the system
    • Corporate money has more political speech than you do

      Illegally deciding the election in 2000 instead of directing FL counties to perform their recounts with a unified process.

        That’s exactly why it’s on the list. The courts have held that police are not soldiers and thus it does not apply to them. Completely ignoring the fact that police did not exist in 1792 and policing was done by soldiers.

        So if the police wanted to say, take over your house to gain a vantage point against your neighbor, (Henderson, NV, 2013) you wouldn’t have any recourse under the 3rd amendment.

        I guess we should be happy they aren’t just seizing houses under Civil Asset Forfeiture…
