We need a privacy amendment to the Constitution. It needs to shore up the legalese of the 4th which lawyers have made a runaround.
If you think that the government defying the purpose of the Fourth will be fixed by pushing for another amendment to be passed and then returning to public passivity, you don't understand how the fourth has been "made a runaround".
The Constitution will continue to be treated as something to pay lip service to without substance as long as all the public cares about is having the right words in it rather than the right action (or right restraint of action) by the government. Adding, deleting, or rearranging words won't fix that -- holding people accountable will.
No, it doesn't matter what is explicit (which anyone who has observed the non-impact of the 27th Amendment would know.)
It matters what the public holds people in official positions accountable to.
Those who don't support following the 2nd Amendment as it was intended, or amending it, have absolutely no place in fighting for privacy in this fashion, and, really, if you support rule of men vs. the rule of law....
