I'm not asking you to itemize all fundamental rights. I'm asking you
about one right in particular, "The right of the people to be secure
in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable
searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall
issue, but upon probable cause, sup****ted by Oath or affirmation, and
particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or
things to be seized."
Is this a fundamental right on the order of "life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness?"
If so, are you willing to extend that to an organization staffed by
Iranians manufacturing plutonium in Iran?
