I have been asked some questions of a more national and global nature but the answers affect us here in Nevada Assembly District 26. I ran across an article written by Andrew C. McCarthy that lists exceptions for needing to obtain a warrant for a search that are listed in federal law and have been backed up by District Courts and the U.S. Supreme Court.
In his coverage of the McCarthy article, Mark Levin asks the questions, "Where did the Supreme Court get the power to make such exceptions? And who checks the power of the justices?" Levin makes a very good point here. I think that the Supreme Court's role is to interpret the Constitution not to supercede it. And the overall point I see is that there are many clamoring for President Bush's impeachment, but I do not hear much fervor for checking or holding the U.S. Supreme Court accountable for actions already taken to undermine individual liberties protected in the Constitution.
