Pima County GOP Establishment Backing Sheriff Dupnik over botched no-knock raid?

“ Pima County Republican Party leaders voted late Thursday to take away party chairman Brian Miller’s keys to the GOP headquarters and called a special meeting to try to remove him from his post.     Miller has been under fire from party stalwarts for the past month, with meetings called in recent weeks after he criticized a SWAT raid in May that resulted in the shooting death of a man law enforcement officers suspected of involvement in drug trafficking.     Several elected officials and party leaders have complained his comments pitted the party against law enforcement at a time when city elections are looming and candidates are gearing up for bigger 2012 races. —  In other words, they value political alliances with government employees over the constitutional rights of constituents. Nice to hear them make that clear. Instapundit ”

In the same post Glenn Reynolds points to this. Virginia Tea Party organization fights planning commision issuance of search warrants for suspected “code violations.” The Lynchburg Tea Party is reaching out to community groups all across the city and across political lines to fight an issue that will directly effect you and your neighbors. The City of Lynchburg is trying to give the planning commission (building permits, code enforcement, etc) the ability to issue search warrants if they suspect “code” violations. This is an outright violation of the 4th amendment. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Obama has certainly ushered in an era of  gummint by jack-boot thug, wot.  It's not enough to stop civil outrage like this, those responsible have to be ripped from office and driven from town.
