“‘Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant.’ Those are the complaining words of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R–La.), who was voicing his support for the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which now claims that its agents have the right to forcibly enter private homes without first obtaining a warrant signed by a judge. … ‘Imagine if we had to go through the process of guaranteeing freedom of speech.’ ‘Imagine if we had to go through the process of respecting the right to keep and bear arms.’ ‘Imagine if we had to go through the process of paying just compensation when private property is taken for a public use.’ You get the idea.” (02/05/26)
