Democrats frequently whine that, “No one is above the law.” The Fourth Amendment of our Constitution reads: “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, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

President Trump is entitled to the same Fourth Amendment protections as anyone. This amendment prohibits law enforcement from seizing personal papers and using these materials to prosecute him for having legally acquired papers under the Presidential Records Act.

Violating the “right of the people to be secure in their … papers” in the manner that has caused the filing of criminal charges against an American citizen are actionable offenses against government agents subject to criminal charges and personal liability for damages. Under the Civil Rights Act of 1872, Title 18 USC Section 242 and Section 1983, respectively.

We seem to have become a democratic dictatorship that operates above the constitutional law. “We the people” must end this by a nationwide boycott of the Democratic Party from top to bottom.
