This is not an "opinion". This is a statement of fact, one that you yourself acknowledged when you wrote about the frequency of occurrence. That latter part-the frequency of such occurrences-is where we disagreed, and where the aspect of opinion comes in.



There is a mischaracterization, and since you insist on continuing such, I must question your motivations in doing so. To whit, I will further point out that I regard this continued mischaracterization as an offensive trivilization of my position.



No, I was stating exactly the situation here: it would be a valuable exercise to gather the data on the number of warrantless searches that have taken place since the current administration took office, and compare that data with previous occurrences of warrantless searches. However, the obstacles to such data gatherign should be obvious. I honestly don't have the time to devote to such a project on my own. I doubt you do, either. To make it more explicit: I *may* have the time to devote to such data-gathering as part of a colleective effort. Do you, in fact, have the time to work as a team? If so, I suggest we take this to PM, as it's getting too long and detailed for such replies, and also drifting somewhat off the topic of this thread.
