1.) #4A was intended to protect against arbitrary arrests as well as against unreasonable searches per ex parte Burford and is now established law. It also applies to seizures and it is not necessary that a detention be a formal arrest
2.) in order to bring to bear the requirements of warrants, or probable cause in instances in which warrants are not required per U.S. v. Mendenhall. Also to add, there’s no general requirement under federal law that federal law enforcement officers disclose either their identity
3.) or the identity of their employer. So with that being said, Obama has nothing to do with this, this is all Constitution, federal law, and SCOTUS precedents being settled law. /FIN

(1/6) Democrats fell into their own trap by becoming the belligerents in this war over judicial supremacy. They won't admit it, apparently, they suffer from the same type of amnesia that they claim Trump is faking.
Let's take a walk.
(2/6) Exhibit 1: Robert Bork - Senator Joe Biden, sent Bork’s nomination to the floor with a rejection recommendation if brought to a full vote in the Senate. Bork, then a judge on the federal appeals court in the District of Columbia, demanded a full vote on the Senate floor.
(3/6) Exhibit 2: Miguel Estrada - In 2001, Senate Democrats’ decided to totally block his vote, this set the precedent. Estrada’s nomination was in limbo when they held the majority, then when they lost the majority in 2002, Democrats resorted to a partisan filibuster against him
(1/4) As much chaos that 2020 has been, I really do not see a huge change in voting habits, there is a lot of crossovers but it is equal, there is no big swing.
Now if we talk voting blocs, this is where it gets interesting.
(2/4) The white youth vote that has traditionally voted moderate is shifting democrat due to BLM etc
The black youth vote is shifting moderate due to an understanding of local politics.
(3/4) Now the 26-40 voting block, the white vote is at a standstill and entrenched, but the black vote is shifting moderate due to the same reasons I listed above.
Over 40, the white vote is entrenched also, but the black vote here is shifting moderate if not Republican.

(1/6) Let me dispel the left's talking point about a SCOTUS pick in an election year.
The circumstances we are under right now is completely different than the Merrick Garland situation.
Now, let's talk about the constitution and legal stuff.
(2/6) A 4-4 split on the SCOTUS is not what we need right now considering there may be a legal issue that comes up with this election concerning the certification of the election, look no further than Bush v. Gore in 2000.
(3/6) With the current split in SCOTUS, it will deadlock everything, then who will be the president?
This could affect down-ballot races especially for both chambers of Congress.
(1/9) My position has not changed from 23 years ago on USPS.
With the information and communication age evolving, USPS is becoming more of a moot point because most people pay their bills online and have gone paperless.
Folks do not write letters any more, email is the way.
(2/9) Coupon and Sales flyers are pushed by A.I. online, yes we still get them in the mail but not as we use to.
USPS does have one major responsibility, National Security. They are really good at that aspect and can always be improved, but they have a hierarchy issue that has
(3/9) existed since its inception in 1971. USPS was founded as an independent agency of Article II, but as we know the influence of the executive has been overbearing, remember the Larry O'Brien scandal (look it up), what about the Dan Rostenkowski scandal (look that up too)
