The value of conventional resistance has to do directly with its political effects. If there’s no popular support for an invasion, unarmed resistance is likely as or more effective, for the usual reasons that nonviolent movements generate superior political effects.

Nearly every thread I see about border searches has someone in it who mistakenly thinks the government’s position is that the Constitution doesn’t apply because you haven’t crossed the border yet. That isn’t their position:

That isn’t what they are claiming. The argument is that the 4th Amendment only prohibits “unreasonable” searches, and searches at the border are “presumptively reasonable” due to long standing historical practice of searching bags at places like Castle Garden.

Important context for this story is that this appears to be a case where the border search exception was used pretextually to go after someone for political reasons.

There’s this World Cup ad that plays “Can I Kick It?” by A Tribe Called Quest and it reminds me that Lou Reed’s estate gets 100% of the royalties from that song because they sampled “A Walk on the Wild Side” and Americans are not just overlawyered but our lawyers are bad at achieving just outcomes.
