II. All kinds of arms prohibited. Fully automatic, for example.
III. Still OK on that one
IV. Unreasonable searches of my e-mail, still waiting to be data mined.

VIII. Excessive bail. How about bail denied, period?
IX. This is the answer to people who say "Where does the constituion give people the right to . . .?
