To Coerce Or Not To Coerce

Our nation does not suffer from a lack of restriction and coercion by our government.  Our nation suffers due to too much restriction and coercion from our government.  This concept just expands government's capacity to coerce and restrict.  It's pretty simple to me - more liberty is better.

Ilya Somin of George Mason University Law School, writing for the Volokh Conspiracy blog, notes that government, unleashed by McGovern’s amendment, could regulate religious practices at most houses of worship, conduct whatever searches it wants, reasonable or not, of corporate entities, and seize corporate-owned property for whatever it deems public uses — without paying compensation. Yes, McGovern’s scythe would mow down the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, as well as the First.
