"government will need to get warrants"
Yeah, sure it will. Just like it needs to obey the constitution. Or can't pass retroactive laws.
This idea is based on the premise that the USA still has a strong rule of law. It doesn't.

I would express the underlying sentiment that I agree with as follows: the rule of law is only as strong as the belief that the legislature, executive and administration places in it.
At the end of the day laws are just words on paper. It's our belief in them that makes them real. And there is less and less belief in them every day. And unfortunately the example shown, at least by many ex-colonies, is once the rule of law starts to slide it is a steady, self-fulfilling decline into bloodshed. I sure hope things can be turned around before such things, but I am far too cynical to believe in fairy tales. But I do so want to be proven wrong.
