In a 5-4 decision (and wait until you read who), the US Supreme Court has ruled that cell site records are protected by the Fourth Amendment.
Holding: The government’s acquisition of Timothy Carpenter’s cell-site records from his wireless carriers was a Fourth Amendment search; the government did not obtain a warrant supported by probable cause before acquiring those records.
The Commerce Clause must not prefer interstate commerce only to the point where a merchant physically crosses state borders. Rejecting the physical presence rule is necessary to ensure that artificial competitive advantages are not created by this Court’s precedents. This Court should not prevent States from collecting lawful taxes through a physical presence rule that can be satisfied only if there is an employee or a building in the State….

I’d like to check the pulse of the “money-out-of-politics” crowd, mostly far-left progressives, on Billionaire Tom Steyer starting up another NextGen political money laundering operation in New Hampshire.
I predict a flatline. No outrage. No protests. No complaints of any kind about the California Billionaire dumping another $30 million into state politics, $750,000.00 right here in New Hampshire.
By Tim Vendt – Candidate, NH House.
I have been a resident of New Hampshire for fifty-seven years, moving to Twin Mountain in 1961 at the age of five when my parents moved there from Massachusetts.
I joined the US Navy in 1975 after graduating from High School in 1974 (White Mountains Regional High School) and was honorably discharged in 1981 as an Avionics Technician, Petty Officer, 2nd Class.
If you’ve been following us for Family Separation Week, you will know that the entire “separating families” narrative is hypocritical politized partisan progressive rubbish.
Border Security and immigration policy are matters of law. In a land of laws, with the rule of law, the law defines the terms. In America, if you come here without permission, you can get arrested, no matter what your age or who may be with you. This leads to parents getting separated from their children. Something Democrats suddenly care about.
The fix, if you really want one, is legislative. If Congress changes the law and the president signs it those are the new rules, and everyone after that point needs to follow them.
Chuck Schumer has declined an opportunity to fix this.
Yesterday, Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo announced the United States intention to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council citing its entrenched bias against Israel and inclusion of “notorious human rights abusers” as members.
U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who has sought major changes on the council throughout her tenure, issued a blistering critique of the panel, saying it had grown more callous over the past year and become a “protector of human rights abusers and a cesspool of political bias.” She cited the admission of Congo as a member even as mass graves were being discovered there, and the failure to address human rights abuses in Venezuela and Iran.
The UN Human Rights Council is a joke. The preeminent example of letting wolves “guard” the Hen House.
Of the few “children” who cross the border illegally “accompanied” by a parent or family member the most common cause of separation is seeking asylum.
If they just turned around and went home, they’d never have to part with their kids. If they applied to enter legally, they’d never be separated from their kids. But by seeking asylum, they force the government to detain them independently. And because of a decade’s old ruling by the Ninth Circus court of appeals, the US can only detain the kids for 20 days. After that, they have to find a suitable guardian while the asylee is processed (which can take months), separating them further from their kids.

Last week we shared a rumor that Governor Chris Sununu was prepared to veto SB 365 and SB 466. Both pieces of legislation were bipartisan sops to green energy that would drive up our already unreasonably high electric rates.
In his veto statement on Tuesday, Sununu said the two bills would cost Granite State ratepayers approximately $100 million over the next three years in higher electricity costs, placing a strain on the elderly, those on fixed incomes and businesses.
The Stop Asset Forfeiture folks should take note.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court decided to consider Timbs v. Indiana, an important constitutional property rights case. As my co-blogger Eugene Volokh and Reason’s Damon Root explain, the case will address the question of whether the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment applies against states, as well as the federal government. If the Supreme Court decides that the Clause does apply against the states, it will also have to consider exactly what kinds of fines qualify as “excessive” and to what extent the Clause applies to asset forfeitures, as well as more conventional fines.

Not a freaking clue:
Wow – just wow. RRftSotRP (Republican Republican for the Sake of the Rebin big steaming piles on this one. The writer is obviously upset in that there is not total agreement with NH GOP Party anointed candidates. The overriding message is exemplified by this:

Er, no, I’m not. Not that from the writer. Nor should you.
I’ve been asked on a number of occasions to run for the NH House of Representatives and have turned them down because of work responsibilities. There was just no way to be able to keep my job AND do the job of a NH Rep correctly and fully. Plus, for full disclosure, when I ran for elective office in my hamlet, I promised the TEMW that I’d never run for higher office (and even though I tried my hardest ever this year, when I asked to be let out of my promise, the response was “the look” – yes, I was doomed from the start.
Sadly, a lot of these folks, mostly Republicans at the top of the Chart of No-Show Shame, should have been doomed as well as certainly the voters that spent their previous Votes on them got hoodwinked:
Bill Bunker, a conservative commentor over at the Concord Monitor (yes, there are a few!) actually had an Op-Ed piece published by said paper by the name above (reformatted, emphasis mine):
…Politics spills into every aspect of our society, including sports, entertainment, faith, education and even corporate America. No aspect of our lives is immune from toxic political sewage spewing from those with an agenda, ideology and thirst for power. What brings fans together at a sporting event is the game. Uniting behind our favorite team, we find common ground and sameness. We can be of a different race, economic class, gender, politics or faith, and we meet on common ground. Politics has eroded and is ruining that tiny bit of unity.
Athletes and media outlets like ESPN abuse their powerful celebrity pulpit, destroying what little common unity many of us have left. Subtle suggestions of our supposed racism and sexism in Super Bowl ads is a prime example of politics permeating the institution of sports and pitting one fan against the other.
My comment is after the jump and wouldn’t you know it, two sad examples of injecting Progressive politics showed up today:
One of the televisions at Cardiac Rehab was on CNN this morning. The volume is down (thank the Lord), but it has closed captioning, so you can read (or not) what’s important to the Leader in Fake News. It’s all about “separating families.” The whole time I was there.
CNN is, not unexpectedly, all in and 100% focused on propagandizing a Democrat party talking point. Did I say not unexpectedly?
A progressive hypocrisy I exposed here just a few days ago. To which I am prepared to add.
