It is my promise that if I every have standing to sue for violation of my constitutional rights, any agents of law enforcement or the government involved will be married to my case for years. I will not let it go. I will not settle. I will be a fucking problem. You'll think of my name when you're lying in bed at night. If you're reading this right now on my phone that you confiscated for no justifiable legal cause, you've been warned.

They've so thoroughly built in so many shitty little backdoors into the constitution that it's basically just a joke that only rich people are in on at this point.
