Chris Christie Ignores the Constitution


In his Fox “On the Record” interview, Christie addressed his argument with Paul at the GOP debate. Justifying his authoritarianism, he bashed Paul’s libertarian policies. According to Breitbart, this is what he had to say in the interview:

“the problem with Senator Paul is that he’s never done this, and he doesn’t understand it. When he makes the ridiculous statement that [paraphrasing] ‘I want to take more from terrorists and less from innocent people.’ How do you know Greta? and then he yells, [paraphrasing] ‘Go get a search warrant.’ Well, that’s not the way it works.”

After he was asked why he couldn’t get a search warrant, Christie stated, “Because if you don’t have probable cause, you can’t get a search warrant. Let’s remember something, we had in — pre-9/11, we had folks over here who had no apparent terrorist ties, but were getting phone calls from people who did have terrorist ties from out of the country. If we had had the NSA program then, we very well could have matched those phone numbers up, that would have been — given us probable cause to go after the folks who were here in the country before 9/11.

When asked about getting a search warrant, Christie says “that’s not the way it works.” It’s clear this man cares nothing for our Constitution. Searching a citizen’s data without a warrant is an outright violation of our 4th amendment, and if Christie can’t get that through his head then he doesn’t deserve to be running for president.
