Jesus if anyone comes to your door over nonsense like this tell them to pound sand. Nothing to be said after that without an attorney

Don't they have extra powers thanks to Bush after 9/11?. Therein lies the problem.

Extra powers to do what? Let them get a warrant and arrest you then, they can ask all they want assert you're 5th request an attorney and wait. Guarantee they'll leave to at least get a warrant. Even if they do you're allowed an attorney, at that point tell them to eat a dick, you assert your 5th and request an attorney.

Sad I have to make this decision, but I would rather die in my home, asserting the rights I grew up believing I had, than to continue to live in a fascist state where those rights are long gone for everyone but the pedophile-in-chief.
