What does that have to do with "either information will be obtained or it will not be obtained?"

That's not even relevant! What's relevant is their breaking the laws established by our Constitution.

“ Our American heritage is threatened as much by our own indifference as it is by the most unscrupulous office or by the most powerful foreign threat. The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter. ”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower

Whatever the definition, ci, what I said earlier is correct. You seem to call people stupid or ignorant way, way too frequently these days.

That's where you are wrong; the government is established by the people, and therefore answerable to the citizens of this country.

Unfortunately, the members of SCOTUS have lifetime terms of office.

The Constitution IS the law of this land.

If the definition fits....

fal·li·ble
ˈfaləbəl/Submit
adjective
1.
capable of making mistakes or being erroneous.
"experts can be fallible"

SCOTUS is not doing its job on many issues, and have overstepped its boundaries when they interfered in the Florida elections.

In other words, they are fallible.

But until the next election...we have to go with what we have right now.

Well...now you want to be the determinant of whether the SCOTUS is doing its job correctly or not.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY?


The right to privacy is not mentioned in the Constitution, but the Supreme Court has said that several of the amendments create this right. One of the amendments is the Fourth Amendment, which stops the police and other government agents from searching us or our property without "probable cause" to believe that we have committed a crime. Other amendments protect our freedom to make certain decisions about our bodies and our private lives without interference from the government - which includes the public schools.

I've never denied that, but you're missing the whole point of this issue; they are breaking the laws of our Constitutional guarantees.

That doesn't make them right in any way shape or form.

No, Frank, it's the Constitution that determines who's right and who's wrong.

But in order to really participate, we need to know our rights - otherwise we may lose them. The highest law in our land is the U.S. Constitution, which has some amendments, known as the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights guarantees that the government can never deprive people in the U.S. of certain fundamental rights including the right to freedom of religion and to free speech and the due process of law. Many federal and state laws give us additional rights, too.

The SCOTUS is breaking their own rules - or are not consistent in their interpretation of our rights to privacy.
