CONSERVATIVES CONSERVE THE BILL OF RIGHTS

Kudos to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer for your editorial "A thin
win for right of privacy" (Monday). I was pleasantly surprised to
learn the U. S. Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence
Thomas voted to uphold the Fourth Amendment rights. It seems that up
until now, there wasn't a single right that these two justices would
not be willing to trample in the name of the war on drugs.

It's good to see conservative judges actually conserving the Bill of Rights.

It was with great disappointment to learn that Justices John Paul
Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy and William Rehnquist
seem to feel that the Fourth Amendment doesn't really mean what it
says.
