Among the reasons DHS should be disbanded

President Barack Obama and his predecessors have maintained that people crossing into U.S. territory aren't protected by the Fourth Amendment. That policy is intended to allow for intrusive searches that keep drugs, child pornography and other illegal imports out of the country. But it also means the government can target travelers for no reason other than political advocacy if it wants, and obtain electronic documents identifying fellow supporters.
Doesn't exactly pass the Jews in the Attic test, does it?

Catherine Crump, an ACLU lawyer who represented House, said she doesn't understand why Congress or the White House are leaving the debate up to the courts.

"Ultimately, the Supreme Court will need to address this question because unfortunately neither of the other two branches of government appear motivated to do so," said Crump.

Well, hell, Crump, I can answer that: 

Some of them are too cowardly, and some just like having that power; that oath they took doesn't mean squat to them.

Evidence of the latter being that clown in the Oval Office telling us he can wage war without Congress having any say-so, and we need to blow hell out of Syria because his self-image is on the line*.

*no, he doesn't have the honor or integrity to say that outright.
