Re: “Unreasonable” Searches

Kane and Lew:   Did you catch that one word from the Fourth Amendment that makes this provision an utterly meaningless “protection” from governmental searches?  It’s the word “unreasonable.”  You and I are protected against “unreasonable searches and seizures” by government officials.  But unreasonable is a weasel-word, that must be subjected to interpretation.  And who will make the authoritative interpretation?:  the government courts.
