Try it, see if it don't become a Federal case.




All this **** comes down to being Americans with certain rights to protect us. Right to privacy comes to mind.


Can't have it both ways.
Don't complain about lack of rights when you turn around and infringe on those same rights of others.

You don't want the government or the cops to record your conversations, but you think civilians suddenly have the freedom to do so? Huh?
Let me be a little more clear. There is no Federal Law that has authority within a state. Unfortunately we live in a society where too many people believe the US Government has authority within a state. It is supposed to do 18 things and 18 things only. Wish we could get back to limited government but that's another discussion.

Federal Law applies sometimes when the event takes place across state lines - that's when it applies. The assumption that the federal law they use now in that respect is merely that - an assumption that people buy into.

There is no "Right to Privacy". It is not stated anywhere in the Constitution. It is merely a construct from a liberal court. I'm not saying it isn't a desired right and one that we assume - it just doesn't exist as a 'right' within in the founding documents - but the debate over it in the Federalist Papers is fascinating.

And lastly, the Constitution puts limits on what the _Government_ can do - not citizens or employers. It was constructed as a restraint on governmental power. That is why your employer can wire tap you all day long....

And it is this kind of thinking that has us in the situation we are in now. Federal law has no authority within a state. Read your Constitution - especially the 9th and 10th Amendments.

And yes, I always enjoy a good debate as well......

Then why did the Federal Government overrule Mayor Daily's gun ban in Chicago?

And even if you were correct,...... even state law requires "consent" from at least one party on the other end of the phone. Some states require all parties.

I'm not saying the Federal Government (Supreme Court in this case) doesn't make rules like that - just that they aren't legal. The SCOTUS should have told the state of IL in this case, "We have no standing. This is to be adjudicated in the state supreme court. And OBTW, it violates the 22nd amendment of your state constitution." The SCOTUS takes on a lot of cases where they have absolutely NO standing. But we have grown a couple of generations of people who think they have to wait for the 9 Orbs in Black Robes to rule before they know what is right and wrong. The City of Chicago case had nothing to do with the US Government restricting the right of the people to bear arms. It had to do with the State of IL restricting that right. (And I am a huge gun rights advocate, but an even bigger "Limited Central Government" advocate.)

Like the feds trying to tell Arizona that their state law isn't constitutional. The governor should tell the feds to go pound sand. The constitution states that the feds can define what a _citizen_ is. It doesn't reserve the right to border protection to the federal government.

The Federal Government is supposed to do 18 things - that's it. Getting involved in my state affairs isn't one of them unless that item from the state violates one of those 18 things.....

An my state law requires the consent of one party - not one party on the 'other end'.

But they do.
Arizona was a perfect example. They have to live with the immigrants drain on their resources, while the Feds refuse to allow them to enforce immigration laws.

The Gov did indeed tell the feds to go pound sand!
That's when the lawsuit came and threw the sand back in the Gov's face.

Now they are going after Sheriff Joe.

One of those other unmentioned rights (like the right to privacy) is the right to self defense and self preservation. Telling the people of Arizona that they have no right to defend themselves from criminals is a great way to endear yourself during an election year.

As for going after Sheriff Joe, they've been doing that for years. This is just the latest attempt. And it will fail as well.

Let's just cut to the quick, cut and paste the text from the US Constitution that says that border security is reserved to the US Government and a state can't have its own law (which mirrors the Federal Law BTW) and defend its borders.

An my state law requires the consent of one party - not one party on the 'other end'.
It wouldn't be called "consent", if the guy with the recorder could consent himself. He's the one who "needs" consent, he can't "give" consent.

If that were true, I could give myself consent to taking the cash from Walgreen's cash register.

I admit that the law is written ambiguously, but if you add some common sense,....

The law states that he "needs" consent of one party (or all parties in some states). If he needs it, then he don't have it to begin with.

Well, your analogy isn't comparable. I am not an equal partner in the cash that the Walgreen's has.

And your 'opinion' doesn't match our case law so I'd suggest you let it go.
