Reply #12: Unconstitutional as hell violative of the most basic constitutional rights

[benfranklin1776]

This should put to rest the notion once and for all that the Republicans are the party of "conservatism" and "limited government." True liberty loving conservatives ought to be honest enough to admit this modern day Republican Party is the gravest menace to our constititution and our basic human rights in the history of our nation. Not since Adams rammed through the odious Alien and Sedition Acts has there been a group of power hungry miscreants so rabidly intent on establishing a police state and who never, ever stop trying to enhance the power of the state to intrude on the lives of its citizens and strip them of their liberty. This legislation purports to outright repeal the fourth amendment and thoroughly trash any semblance of due process of law. The legislation is grossly unconstitutional on its face as it violates the fourth amendment with impunity and will be stricken.

See Brown v. Texas

(http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=search&court=US&case=/us/443/47.html)

in which a unanimous Supreme Court made clear it was a clear violation of the fourth amendment for police to require identification from people whom the police had no reasonable suspicion of committing a crime.

Obviously these neofascists who concocted this legislation, and that is exactly what they are, have never bothered to read the fourth amendment nor do they care what the courts have to say. Not only should this law be stricken from the books but its drafters removed from office for willfully subverting the United States and Ohio Constitutions which they are sworn to uphold.
