No Judge--But a Warrant, Anyway

Think the Fourth Amendment is still in force?  You haven't met the Administrative State.

...The EEOC charged Trinity with violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, and demanded information about all its employees who had used up their Family Medical Leave time and were terminated.

Trinity argued that Hasan's firing did not justify the burdensome and expensive process of complying with the EEOC's administrative subpoena for such other terminations of employees, plus those were irrelevant to Hasan's case.

Under the non-existent Fourth Amendment standards that have developed for these warrants issued unilaterally by bureaucrats, a federal court in Indiana rolled over for the EEOC.

The message to all employers: firing one employee opens you up to a judge-less warrant from the federal government
....

That "DISOBEY" movement becomes a lot more attractive every single day.
