"The Constitution trumps the law, obviously," he (Grassley) said.

I find it interesting that this concept is "obvious" in this context, yet so many find it confusing when weighing the relative merits of scope n' grope vs the 4th amendment.

Just sayin'. I mean, it's always obvious to me, regardless of context.

It suggests to me that scope n' grope is obviously illegal, and not just to prickly old Libertarians like me.

 

Glad to see you here.You have an excellent point. The scope and grope practices are clearly unconstitutional but it hasn't stopped two administrations from ignoring this and doing what they please.

Funny how the politicians only seem to find that the Constitution applies when it suits their position.
