Supreme court grants Border Patrol unrestricted rights to search and seizure in constitution-free zone.

[Mic Drop]

That’s a clear violation of the 4th amendment and the supreme court cannot exceed its powers by superseding it. The problem is democrats and republicans in other branches won’t do anything about it.

Basically if you live on the border, border patrol can access your home without warrant or cause. You also can't sue for damages to you or your property if the actions were not state sponsored. The supreme court is ramming fascists rulings at a breakneck speed while the majority watches in terror. When will the US people learn that the system is too far gone for pacifist measures?

Every major city is inside this border-San Diego, Washington DC, San Fransico, New York, Boston, Houston, San Antonio, Chicago, Seattle, Portland...

So are the entire states of Maine and Florida.

Also the entire states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, New Jersey, Michigan and Hawaii. New Hampshire also looks pretty suspect from the few maps I've seen and there's only small little pieces of Massachusetts and Vermont that don't fall within the zone. That's 8/50 states. Let that sink in.

Excerpt from Justice Sotomayor's opinion on the ruling:

"Remarkably, the Court goes beyond invoking its national-security talisman in this case alone. In keeping with the unprecedented level of generality the Court imports into the special-factors analysis, the Court holds that courts are not "competent to authorize a damages action...against Border Patrol agents generally." Ante, at 11. This extraordinary and gratuitous conclusion contradicts decades of precedent requiring a context-specific determination of whether a particular claim presents special factors counseling hesitation. See supra, at 6-8.^4.

The consequences of the Court's drive-by, categorical assertion will be severe. Absent intervention by Congress, CBP agents are now absolutely immunized from liability in anyBivens action for damages, no matter how egregious the misconduct or resultant injury.That will preclude redress under Bivens for injuries resulting from constitutional violations by CBP's nearly 20,000 Border Patrol agents, including those engaged in ordinary law enforcement activities, like traffic stops, far removed from the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, On a Typical Day in Fiscal Year 2021, CBP...(2022), https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/typical-day-fy2021. This is no hypothetical: Certain CBP agents exercise broad authority to make warrantless arrests and search vehicles up to 100 miles away from the border."

I'm far less concerned by some ink on paper than I am about 250k illegal aliens pouring across the border every month.
