Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

And here I thought Republicans believed in small govt, low taxes and freedom.
They only believe in power and hate.
Not to mention they tell us any raising of taxes on the rich will result in them just moving.
Also Trump's a rapist, a pedophile, and so much more.

That’s the argument the President is making regarding why the federal government should get to profit off of an illegal tax.

It's been well over three weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Conveniently, the state being able to specifically articulate why it’s stopping a vehicle happens to be the longstanding legal test for whether it’s constitutionally permissible to do so.

Overview Opinions Materials
Nonetheless, the notions which underlie both the warrant procedure and the requirement of probable cause remain fully relevant in this context. In order to assess the reasonableness of Officer McFadden's conduct as a general proposition, it is necessary "first to focus upon

the governmental interest which allegedly justifies official intrusion upon the constitutionally protected interests of the private citizen," for there is "no ready test for determining reasonableness other than by balancing the need to search [or seize] against the invasion which the search [or seizure] entails." Camara v. Municipal Court, 387 U.
S. 523, 534-535, 536-537 (1967). And, in justifying the particular intrusion, the police officer must be able to point to specific and articulable facts which, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant that intrusion. [Footnote
18] The scheme of the Fourth Amendment becomes meaningful only when it is assured that, at some point, the conduct of those charged with enforcing the laws can be subjected to the more detached, neutral scrutiny of a judge who must evaluate the reasonableness of a particular search or seizure in light of the particular circumstances.
[Footnote 19] And, in making that assessment, it is imperative that the facts be judged against an objective standard: would the facts](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreigqybbyb7kipnvue7szo2igyhlavzyf2fr777sgb6ln5bnhnfqafy@jpeg)
