This is no different than them trying to say that any time you're arrested, you have to unlock the front door to your house and let them search the place without cause, reason, or warrant. We know this. They know this. But since both political parties want a surveillance police State, that's what we'll get. It's not like we ever get to vote on this stuff. We can only vote for a couple of people that share the exact same viewpoint on these matters, and then those people can do whatever tf they want.
