WWLP 22 News | "The Departments of Public Health and Education think the bill should take things one step further and ban whole milk and white bread from cafeterias as well."

The senate candidate gets a rude introduction to the tribal politics of Massachusetts.

Last week, President Obama was "spiking the football" in Afghanistan, and by week's end his administration was performing the diplomatic equivalent of a fumbled snap in the case of blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng.

Why does the "non-issue" of Harvard Law professor and Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's Native American ancestry "require so much attention?"

On Tuesday, Richard Mourdock has the opportunity to kick-start nationwide tea party momentum in his quest to oust longtime moderate incumbent Richard Lugar. A Victory for Mourdock in Indiana's US Senate primary could have coat-tails and help tea party candidates in other races, mainly Ted Cruz in Texas and Dan Llijenquist in Utah.

It's also important to remind voters that the tea party does not exist to defeat one man, but to defeat candidates, both Republican and Democrat, who regularly oppose economic, religious, and personal freedoms.

While Mourdock has been endorsed by all the right people including FreedomWorks, the Club for Growth, and Sarah Palin, Mourdock has received the typical establishment backing. Mourdock claims that Indianans should vote for him because he can win, and Mourdock will lose. Well, Mourdock is no Christine O'Donnell and Indiana is not Delaware. Mourdock has won statewide, his Democratic opponent would be an Obamacare and stimulus backer, and political momentum in the state is clearly on the GOP's side (in 2010, the Republicans took back the other previously Democratic-held senate seat in a 15-point landslide.

Defendant Airman first consented to a UA but withdrew his consent before the testing was done. This was potentially binding under M.R.E. 314(e)(3), which had to be considered. Also, his UA could not be considered an abandonment. United States v. Dease, 2012 CAAF LEXIS 536 (C.A. A.F. May 1, 2012):

For the reasons set forth below, we hold that the military judge did not abuse his discretion in ruling that Appellant had a privacy interest in his urine sample and could withdraw consent prior to the search. Further, the military judge did not abuse his discretion in concluding that the urinalysis evidence and evidence derived from that urinalysis would not have been subject to inevitable discovery. Seizure and search are not necessarily coterminous, particularly in the context of a urinalysis case. M.R.E. 314(e)(3) states that "[c]onsent may be limited in any way by the person granting consent, including limitations in terms of time, place, or property and may be withdrawn at any time." (Emphasis added.) Therefore, the lower court erred in determining that Appellant's privacy interest in his urinalysis sample was extinguished by his voluntary surrender of his urine to the Government, without addressing M.R.E. 314(e)(3).

Defendant’s challenge to his 1992 search was originally on scope of search rather than the validity of third party consent. Reviewing for plain error, counsel was not ineffective for not challenging the consent on that ground rather than voluntariness. “Strickland grants no license to question counsel's strategic decisions.” United States v. Balogun, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 9127 (2d Cir. May 4, 2012).*

Defendant passed out in his car going the wrong way through a McDonald’s drive-in was reasonable suspicion. State v. Ownby, 2012 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 274 (May 3, 2012).*

Baltimore Sun editorial: DNA testing: Why not just trash the Fourth Amendment?

I found Dan Rodricks' commentary regarding DNA testing and the recent Maryland Court of Appeals ruling ("DNA: Why wait for an arrest?" May 3) to be quite interesting. He states at the end that he can't think of a good argument against his position that we should all give DNA samples to the authorities whether we have been accused of a crime or not. Well, Dan, I've also thought about how useful having a large repository of DNA can be. Unsolved crime and a city mayor on your back? No problem! We'll just take some DNA from our bank, plant it at the scene, and say that it was left there.

DNA evidence would surely trump any factual alibi, so no problem, case closed, someone (whether guilty or not) now behind bars, and the mayor's happy. Don't believe it could happen? Think again. Planting "evidence" is not unheard of.

. . .

Of course, we could simply scrap the whole Fourth Amendment and allow the government to enter our homes and search them whenever they felt like it, all in the name of proving our innocence. If we have nothing to hide, why should we not give them free reign and not require things like probable cause and warrants?
