Indiana Supreme Court: Resisting an Unlawful Entry Into Your Home is… Unlawful

http://michellemalkin.com/2011/05/14/indiana-supreme-court/
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. — 4th Amendment to the US Constitution
The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that the 4th Amendment needs a disclaimer when it comes to officers of the law acting unlawfully (at which point, by definition, wouldn’t they cease to be “officers of the law”?).
Bruce McQuain has the details:

That’s what the Indiana Supreme Court decided in what would be a laughable finding if it wasn’t so serious:

Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.

The author of the story reporting this is right – somehow the ISC managed, in one fell swoop, to overturn almost 900 years of precedent, going back to the Magna Carta.

In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer’s entry.

Or said another way, your home is no longer your castle.

Brilliant idea:

They won’t find anything except for a challenge to their unwarranted searches.
The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, meant to prevent unwarranted search and seizure, is readable on TSA body scanners.

I wish I thought of this one.

Tax cuts cost money? Huh?

It’s the same idiocy logic that is used with unemployment benefits. The left claims that those who receive benefits will spend it and thus boost the economy. Yes and no. Yes, of course they will spend it, they need it just to get by. No, it provides no boost to the economy. Impossible. It’s not new wealth being injected into the economy. These are just transfer payments moving tax revenues from one group of taxpayers to another. They are merely returning the money they received back into the economy. In fact it’s worse than that because we had to increase the debt to provide the benefits. There is no money left, so we had to sell debt to pay for it which must be paid back with interest so the net effect is a loss. Unemployment benefits are welfare pure and simple. We can debate the merits of them, but call them what they are.

Guess Who’s Paying For The Greece Bailout?…. Let me guess…

Feds push for tracking cell phones

clipped from news.cnet.com Two years ago, when the FBI was stymied by a band of armed robbers known as the "Scarecrow Bandits" that had robbed more than 20 Texas banks, it came up with a novel method of locating the thieves. FBI agents obtained logs from mobile phone companies corresponding to what their cellular towers had recorded at the time of a dozen different bank robberies in the Dallas area. The voluminous records showed that two phones had made calls around the time of all 12 heists, and that those phones belonged to men named Tony Hewitt and Corey Duffey. A jury eventually convicted the duo of multiple bank robbery and weapons charges. "The biggest issue at stake is whether or not courts are going to accept the government's minimal view of what is protected by the Fourth Amendment," says EFF's Bankston. "The government is arguing that based on precedents from the 1970s, any record held by a third party about us, no matter how invasively collected, is not protected by the Fourth Amendment."
