Speech #820169981

I think the gentleman will agree with me that the protection of the citizen of the United States against unreasonable searches and seizures Is provided in the fourth amendment to the Constitution. So therefore. anything which we write in this bill which authorizes an unreasonable search or seizure is running counter to the fourth amendment to the Constitution and cannot cbe upheld on constitutional grounds. It is a question of whether you are getting into the field of unreasonable searches and seizures. whether it is immigration or narcotics or anything else. If it does. then it runs counter to the Constitution and the conditions laid down under which warrants for searches and seizures can be issued. as contained in the fourth amendment to the Constitution.
