Another Bush Victory for Freedom -- Residential Privacy Banned

On a roll this week after his sensational trip to Baghdad, George W. Bush was thrilled to hear he had scored another victory yesterday in the War on Terror when the Supreme Court decided that police in the United States who enter a home illegally without knocking and find incriminating evidence can use it in a trial.

How do I know that George W. Bush was thrilled when none of the media accounts said so? Simple. Because I was. As regular readers of this blog know, Me & George W. have amazingly similar lives. And if I'm thrilled, then George W. Bush is thrilled.

Here's why we were thrilled: Now police can illegally enter the homes of terrorists and other undesireables such as gay couples planning to get married in Massachusetts or illegal immigrants planning to collect welfare and get major elective surgery for free at U.S. hospitals. How great is that?

Police can gather evidence against these evildoers -- bombs, wedding clothes and maps with hospitals circled in red -- without having to worry about these tell-tale signs of evil being thrown out of court by liberal judges.

Of course, liberals, like they always do, are already asking their weak, nit-picky questions like: "Shouldn't citizens have a right to privacy in their homes?"

Me & George W. know that people who are not terrorists, not gays planning marriage andnot immigrants planning surgery, have nothing to fear from this ruling. Only known members Al-Queda and their affiliates, people who are planning to commit crimes against nature and against U.S. borders will be targeted by police.

Anti-war protesters, no matter how liberal and extreme and anti-American they are, have nothing to fear. Unless they have bombs, wedding dresses or tuxedos or other such contraband in their homes or the homes of their affiliates or their affiliates' affiliates.

According to the San Franciso Chronicle, "The Supreme Court said police intrusions on residential privacy are adequately restrained by several factors -- including "the increasing professionalism of police forces'' -- without suppressing evidence that is obtained with a search warrant."

In other words, just like our increasingly professional soldiers, our increasingly professional police can be trusted to do the right thing. Just as progress is being made in Iraq, progress is being made in police departments across the United States to protect the rights of the innocent and abridge the rights of the guilty. Americans can all breathe a little easier starting...well, starting right now!

I know I'm planning to go out, have a few drinks and breathe a little easier starting tonight. I assume George W. will do the same!
