I'd just like someone in the press corps to ask this simple question
(not mine, someone posted it on volokh.com):
If the President can suspend the 4th Amendment search and seizure clause
in the name of national security, can he likewise suspend the 3rd
amendment prohibition on quartering soldiers in homes?
