I didn't say they couldn't come up to my door and ask questions. I said they
had no ENFORCEABLE RIGHT to search or interview.  I, however, DO have an
enforceable right to demand they leave myproperty and not return unless and
until they have a warrant.  In this country the government does NOT have
rights, the people do.

It's about damned time people started remembering that.
