Tea Party Patriots schedule Town Hall
Article IV of our Constitution states, in part: “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated . . . .”
Have you ever wondered how certain rulings by the judges in our various courts seem to be at odds with our Constitution?
On May 12 of this year, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled that citizens of Indiana have no right to resist an unlawful entry by police into a person’s home. An unlawful entry by police would be an entry into a home when there is no valid search warrant or probable cause. Indiana Supreme Court Justice Steven David stated “We believe a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy.”
Hmmm. Wouldn’t you think “public policy” just might be the US Constitution, including Article IV of the Bill of Rights? Or perhaps the identical wording of the 4th Amendment found in Article 1 Section 11 of Indiana’s own state constitution?
Local residents will get a chance to listen to our very own Michigan Supreme Court Justice Stephen Markman comment on the Constitution, and answer questions, at a Town Hall Meeting sponsored by the Clinton County Tea Party Patriots, on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at the Dewitt Banquet and Conference Center (http://www.bccdewitt.com).
The meeting starts at 7:00 pm. The Dewitt Banquet and Conference Center is next door to the Sleep Inn Dewitt just off Old US-27.
Please come and find out more about the history and the future of our country.
