Fitzgibbons:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Federal, state and local governments in America are abusing their search and seizure power through the use of \u201cadministrative subpoenas\u201d \u2013 with no court proceedings at all. This is a bigger threat to liberty than most conservatives realize, and ought to be on the agenda for the next presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>The law of search and seizure is very related to the ebbs and flows of freedom in history, which is why it is time to reclaim the Fourth Amendment.  In the big historic picture, administrative subpoenas are the latest form of attack on liberty.  They were created by the FDR regime specifically to put commerce under the fearful thumb of the federal government, and have been used to intimidate and silence critics of government.  But that is merely repeating the history of attacks on freedom using the search and seizure process, which has gotten more dangerous as the administrative state has expanded.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Thinker: Liberty receding in the wake of non-judicial government search and seizure by Mark J.
