While everyone was outraged over the ATF’s proposed ban on popular M-855 ammo, Black Supremacist Eric Holder gives the Bureau of Always Think Forfeiture additional powers to come after your stuff, by merely claiming suspected drug offenses.
Merely suspecting.
Isn’t the War on Drugs great?
It’s a great excuse to suspend the Constitution.
The Obama Regime doesn’t even bother to try to hide their unconstitutional power grabs any more…
But if nobody is going to challenge their unlawful usurpations, why bother?
(Cato) – A quick glance at the Federal Register (Vol. 80, No. 37, p. 9987-88) today reveals that Attorney General Eric Holder, who earned cautious praise last month for a small reform to the federal equitable sharing program, has now delegated authority to the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to seize and “administratively forfeit” property involved in suspected drug offenses. Holder temporarily delegated this authority to the ATF on a trial basis in 2013, and today made the delegation permanent while lauding the ATF for seizing more than $19.3 million from Americans during the trial period.
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.
I’ll grant that the 4th Amendment is a little more complex than the 2nd Amendment. Given Eric’s difficulty with the 2nd Amendment, the 4th may be completely over his head.
We are just two months into what promises to one heck of a roller coaster ride that will make 1930’s Germany look like the kiddie train at the fair. Hold on to your butts America!!!
