How Signal Walks the Line Between Anarchism and Pragmatism

We've seen example after example of the Fourth Amendment being stopped all over with zero consequences. Why bother arguing over possible edge cases (and I personally don't see any reason online communications wouldn't be covered) when there are no meaningful consequences for even the most cut and dry violations. Like, why argue the finer points of a right that we effectively don't have?

In a large country, I think it could be true that there are many violations of a rule, and at the same time, the rule is often enforced and is doing some good.

I haven’t researched it, though.

And on top of that, for the most part we only hear about the violations. The rule being followed won't make the news.

That doesn't mean the violations are acceptable, of course.
